Easy run this morning. Legs are slightly sore, but no pain from running on them this morning. I took it very easy... my pace averaged at 8:46.

Came home for lunch, but first I did a quick upper body strength training.  5 sets, 10 reps of chest, back, shoulders, triceps, and biceps.  I took 30 second rests between sets and 1 minute rest between muscle groups.  Jumped in the pool with the kids for a cool down.  Had a turkey sandwich with spicy mustard and cheese.  Then some cookies and milk.  I went back to work.

After work I jumped on my bike with only my tri gear and googles in the seat bag and I was off to the city pool.  It is uphill, windy, and 100 degrees on the way there.  I swam 40 laps, and then I jumped back on my bike and headed home.  Triceps are sore!!!!  Go figure!?!?!

I am going to have some more cookies and milk before bed!!!

I didn't think I was going to get out today.  After scouts, I came home and I needed a run.  I decided to try out my new running flats.  I like them!!!!  Maybe it was all in my head, but I felt light on the foot and unrestricted.  I did a tempo run down the virgin river trail from Manowar to the Dixie Ctr.  My first split (3.1 miles) was 23:55.  On the way back, my second split was 23:34.  I was only faster on the second split because I knew I didn't have to conserve energy for another run.  This run is equivalent to my 10K pace (7:40-7:45).  I bet I can run a 10K a lot faster than this.

When I came home I jumped in the pool for a cool down.  Then I turned on my new p90x program and tried out the yoga x.  I liked that too!!!  Most of the moves and positions were fairly easy.  In the future, I will do the advanced positions so I can really sweat.  Don't get me wrong, I was sweating like a pig during the p90x.  I just like to push yoga as far as I can.

Midnight run!!!  I went with Cathy to her Tuachan rehearsal and planned to run home at midnight.  I just ran comfortable with the gramin clocking miles and time.  It was a beautiful night and all downhill.  I ran 7 miles and decided that I wanted to run long saturday.  I walked another mile until Cathy found mew on her way home.  It was past 1:30 am when she found me.  My run time was 59 minutes. (8:12 pace)

Ran the St George Marathon route this morning.  A lot of other runners out as well!  The SG tri club invited me to run with them.  That was perfect because I needed the ride up the highway.  Thanks guys!!!

I ran with a group that was doing the Jeff Galloway method.  That was perfect since I was a little sore and tired this week.  We ran 4 minutes, walked 1 minute.  Our running pace was between 7:30 to 8:30.  The total time was 2 hr and 54 minutes (9:10 pace).  I meet up with old friends from Cedar City and we spent the entire 3 hours getting reacquainted.  The time flew by on our run.  Thanks Adam and Colleen for the excellent run!!!

I stopped at the best mexican resturant for a breakfast burrito and I drank 5 diet pepsi's.  A perfect ending to a perfect run!

I rode my bike to Tuachan this afternoon.  It was all uphill for 13.65 miles.  My time was 48:09 for an average speed of 17.0 mph.  I was then held up for a rain storm.  After 2 hours, I headed home with a time of 35:45 for an average speed of 22.9 mph.  Total time 1:24 with an average speed of 19.5 mph. Just in time too... it's raining again!
