Just another easy run in the river bottoms, up around the golf course listening to the tunes. Still feeling pretty good, nothing seems to be sore just the ususal aches and pains of running. I am thinking of doing the Spanish fork half next month, we will see how things go. I did 200 crunches. Have great evening.

wow, today it felt as if I hit the wall big time today. I just could not get my legs to go, very little if any energy, just toatlly zapped, wacked, and a no show. it was all I could do to get in the five miles. I have not felt this wacked for a long time. I think I will go to bed early and try to get some extra zzzz's. I did 200 cruches and called it a day.

Started my run this morn a little after 5 am, it was real nice to run in the cool morn air. I did not like the fact that it is staying darklonger it was real spooky crossinfgthe river bottoms. I heard something in the corn and pointed my tiny flashlight, it was a big old deer. she wanted to race and I could not stay with her. she was to fast, maybe next time bambi.

I did the same route as last sat up over harrys hill then up to the mailboxes and round-about. what a beautiful view of the valley from there. Headed back to GU Corner and refuled. Steve King was there and we talked for a few, then he sped of faster than that deer I seen early, wait, maybe the deer was really Steve King. weird. I ended up doing the golf course loop twice. I seem to hit a little bit of a wall around mile 18, so I decided to push through it today and see what I could do. Miles 19, 20, and 21 my legs did better than they did during mile 18. So I hope that is a good sign and try to know that once I fight through that wall feeling I still have more energy. So farĀ I am feeling good about this years marathon training, no injuries at this point, knock on wood. Have a great weekend all, see ya mon.
