I got home from work today about 4 pm, the old temp. was at 101 degrees. Looks like a good time to go for a run. So O strapped on the old shoes took some hydration with me and away we go. I felt a little better than I did on sat. run but it was so hot it did'nt feel much like pushing it. I did my 8 mile route up around the golf course. The wind was blowing pretty hard out of the canyon so I had a good head wind for a while. I was coming down power house road and I could see some smoke up ahead, as I got closer there was a pretty good fire going in the field next to the road. I could here the fire trucks coming and they seem to get under control pretty fast. My total time today was 1:20:00, with an average pace of 9:58.

I think I will give my ankle one more week and then start doing some 8 min. mile tempo runs and see if I can get my times down.

Not as ot today nice overcast, although a little on the muggy side. I did a few warm up miles today and thought I might try and push it a little harder. For the most part I felt pretty good and my ankle did'nt give me any problem. My average pace was a 9:31 with a total time of 1:17:58.

I was able to get my run inbetween the thunderstorms. It was nice to have cooler day. My legs are a little wack from yesterdays run. But I felt ok and was able to keep it going. My ankle as far as running seems to be a non-issue, it dos'nt bother me running. But it is a little tender to the touch. I am having a hard staying motivated in my training, the only thing that keeps going is I want to run the SGM bad. This sat. my Bro. Clay and I are planning a long run down payson canyon it should be a great time. My total time today was 1:19:45, with an average pace of 9:44 a little slower than yesterdays but that's ok I was never very speedy.

Had to wait until the thunder shower was over to get my run in, sorry Sasha but I refuse to run in a lighting storm. The ran sure made for a nice cool run tonight. For my training today I keeped it on the flat and did only a few hills, I do alot of hills during the week and decide today to take it kind of easy.  So I went out to Harrys Hill and back home, and felt pretty good through most of the run. Sorry I don't have any fasenating potty stories to tell like my Bro. Clay. My total time today was 1:26:03, with an average pace of 9:33.

Did Payson Canyon down hill run this morn. It was a blast to go with my Bro. Clay. He is a pretty funny guy to hang with, and is good for a laugh. I felt good for most of the run, the last mile was pretty tough. when ever I run with Clay he makes me push myself a little harder than I usually do, it was fun. My total time was 2:03:43, with an average pace of 8:50.
