Little Buddha

I ate way too much food over the weekend.  I went and played basketball this morning, but did feel too great.

Starting my 18 week training cycle for Utah Valley today.  I'm actually a lot more excited this year, compared to where I was last year.  I'm really hoping I can get back into decent shape this year.

Pretty decent workout this afternoon.  I did a 2 mile warm-up then started a 4 mile tempo run over on 400 South.  I did a loop out past the school.

1-6:09

2-6:27- a little uphill

3-6:02- starting to hurt and wanting to be done

4-6:14

Overall 24:55 with a 6:13 average.

Did a two mile cool-down

I'm a going to try to continue doing tempo runs on this route as it is pretty flat and fair.

Went and lifted weights this morning, for the first time in a very long time.  Tonight I just rode the exercise bike for 40 minutes, my right ankle has been hurting all day.

Basketball this morning, ankle feeling better, don't know why it was bothering me yesterday.

Easy 3 mile run tonight, not a lot of time.

Lifted weights this morning, going to club run this afternoon.

Good run with the club tonight.  Started out at a comfortable pace with Dave, Clyde, Steve, Bill and Mike.  We had an encounter with a biker punk, fortunately the dude kept biking after he yelled at us, because if dude would have stopped we would of had one less biker in St. George and our running club would be running laps around the prison yard.

I managed to stay with the guys until the last 2 miles and then I slowed down a bit.  However, I was still happy to finish the 10 mile loop with a 6:52 average.

Basketball this morning, lots of running this morning 3 on 4 full court.

Ran 5 miles this afternoon down through Confluence Park.

Good run out around Sand Hollow with Bill and Mike.
