This week I am plannning to run the Provo River 10 miler, so I will do  a mini taper this week. My Garmin was not working for my run today so I only have total time from my trusty old Nike watch, and average pace. I was suprised at how good I felt after sat. long run of 18 and some change. My legs felt good and strong not tired just had good energy even though it was a little on the warm side. My total time today was 1:22:43, with an average pace of 10:30 Not my best 8 mile time but I do want to save some energy for sat. Oh I am still fighting this stupid cold, sinisus and a cough. I just wish it would go away.

I did not feel very good in todays training. My cold is still giveing me fits, I finally went to the doctor today and found out I have a real good sinus infection so he gave me an antibiotic and hopefully in a few days I will be feeling alot better. Sat. I have a ten mile race I am doing and wanted to try an pr. But I will see how the next few days go. I only could do 5 miles today I just felt pretty cruddy all the way around. My time was 50:23, I don't even want record my splits because it was not good.

Just did an easy run of 5 today, stayed out of the river bottoms. No hills just flat and easy, my total time was 48:23, a little faster than yesterday, I have been taking my antibiotic for a day now and I can already see an improvment. So by sat I hope to be feeling strong for the 10 mile race. Catch ya tomorrow.

Happy Father's day to all the Father's on the blog.  and those who ran the race this morn good job it was a fun run. Mostly down hill which is a good test for me. I would rather run uphill. Started out at the top of South Fork up Provo Canyon, ran down to catch the river trail that goes along the provo River abd ended at the shops at River woods shoping area. Before the race begin me and my Bro. Clay to meet Sasha and listen to his councel about running and training. He is not only a great runner but even a greater Human Being. Thankyou Sasha for makeing us feel comfortable.

I felt pretty good the first four miles had good energy, at the four mile mark I was at just over 31:00 min, after that my garmin lost it's signal and stopped working. It never got back on track after that. So i don't have any info after that. My goal was to pr in this race, my last 10 miler time 1:39:00, I think I ended around 1:21:00, well have to wait and see when they post the times. All in all it was a good run. I just looke up my finish time and I did pr, total time was 1:20:53 with an average pace of 8:04. Finished 6th in my age group. My bro. Clay did very well, he placed 1rst in his age group. Way to go little Bro. your awesome.
