Decide--Commit--Succeed

Wow what a nice day for a run. The temp. was a comfy 67 degrees it sure felt good to have a warm day good by winter hello spring. I did'nt feel much like pushing to hard today, my legs were still a little tired from sat. long run of 10 mile's. I did try to have a couple of fast miles, well fast for me. My fast miles are my Brother's slow miles. Total time was 1:05:12. with an- verage pace of 9:13. My two fastest miles were mile 2 and mile 5. I also started running in my kayono 13's waht an awesome running shoe. My mile splits were as follows.

Mile 1. 9:19

        2. 9:01

        3. 9:29

        4. 9:11

        5. 8:19

        6. 9:36

        7. 9:38

On mile 5 I wanted to see if I could get under a 8 min. mile but I could'nt hold the pace for the whole mile. Maybe someday.

Today most of workout was uphill training through the Spanish Fork river bottoms. It was the hottest day of the year so far, 75 degress, it felt great. My legs today felt like blocks of cement pretty wack today. my total time today was 1:07:43, with an average pace of 9:34.

My mile splits were as follows.

Mile 1. 9:05

        2. 9:28

        3. 9:49

I ran in my new K-13's I am still trying to decide if I like them, Does not seem to have the room in the toe box as the 11and 12's, and I think thay are a little stiffer than K-11 and 12's. I think they might even be a little on the heavy side.

My legs are still feeling wack today, they feel very heavy. Yeasterday I developed a blister as I ran in my new K13's, so today I ran in my K12's, for some reason the k13's feel a little different, Don't quit know what to think about thwm yet. I they will inprove as they get broken in. Tomorrow I will try and run in them again and see how it goes. My mile today were very slow miles, I just feel really tired today. My total time was 1:10:04, worst time for a while, My average pace was 9:53, and my fastest mile was the last 1.2 which average at 9:26, it was all uphill. Weird. My mile splits were as follows, I know kind of embarassing.

Mile 1. 9:53

        2. 9:37

        3. 9:57

        4. 10:07

        5. 10:09

        6. 10:13

        7. 9:26

I don't know if my legs feeling wack is a head thing, or if they really feel that fatigued. Will see whar tomorrow brings.

I took yesterday off, when I arrived home from work yesterday I had some family issues with oldest daughter and her husband. Who ever said kids were easier after they got married was crazy. I worry more about my 2 married kids than I do about the two that are still under my roof. So any way today was a nice day for a run and I did'nt feel too bad, I ran in my new k-13's there is somthing different about them still don't know if i loke them as much as the K-12's. The 13's are giving my thigh's a workout they feel a little more stressed when I run in them. My total time today was 1:06:59, with an average of 9:27. My last mile I will coount as a fast mile for me which was an 8:49. My mile splits were as follows.

Mile 1. 9:17

        2. 9:30

        3. 9:51

        4. 9:43

        5. 9:10

        6. 9:52

        7. 8:49

Next sat. I will be in St. George running in the Spectrum 10k, It is 1 of 2 that I am running in the runner series to by pass the SGM.

Todays run was real interesting, at about mile 2.5 as I was running through the river bottoms of Spanush Fork there was a kid in a little sports car going teice the speed limit, as he passed me I yelled at him to slow down which encouraged him of course to go faster. As my wife and I were going up the hill to GU corner he came by again and yelled again to slow down, well this time the kid gets out of his car and starts yelling four letter verbal abuse's at me. He kind of got in my face and the testosteron was going pretty high by this time, I told him he was driving recklessly and to slow down, by this time there was another car behind him so he got back in his car and speed off. I don't know why people have to drive so stupidly. Weel it's a good think he got back in his car I was afraid I might have to use a Jack Bauer move on him and take him to the ground. Other than that I had a good run today fasteast one of the week. My total time was 1:04:33  with average pace of 9:09. My toal miles were as follows.

Mile 1. 9:50

        2. 9:06

        3. 9:20

        4. 8:40

        5. 8:48

        6. 9:11

        7. 9:14
