Feeling quite a bit better this morning, went and played basketball and planning on some miles tonight.

Decent run tonight.  After taking the big screen T.V. to the landfill, Sunny dropped me off at the new Maverik.  From there I did an easy 3 miles up to Sky Mountain Golf Course, then did 2 miles at a quicker pace 6:12, and 6:30, then another easy mile through Hurricane, then one more mile in 6:14 followed by 1.5 easy miles home.  Still had some coughing issues, but I think I'm starting to feel better.

Had an adventure today.  Started out with .5 miles then turned around and went back home to get on a hat (still getting over being sick, so I had on the extra layers)  Then I headed up the La Verkin Twist, but decided to turn off on to a side trail I've never been on, well the trail didn't go very far and there I was left to do some cross country running.  I ended up on top of a little hill, then made my way down to a little gully, but I had to do some free climbing to get down a 20 foot drop off.  Anyway, I was thinking the whole time, how can I only be a few miles from home and down in a place like this that seems so remote.  After some more climbing I was able to get back to another trail that lead to a more familiar area and then I made it back to the highway and extended the run down through Confluence Park.  All in all a pretty easy 7.5 mile run.

Basketball this morning.

Good workout this afternoon, not much time since I had to be back to school for Parent/Teacher conferences at 5:00.  Anyway the schedule called for 5x1000m repeats @CV pace with 2:00 min recovery.  I haven't done any 1000 meter repeats yet this year, so I was a little nervous about how this workout would go.

I did a 2 mile warm-up then got started

1-3:29 (5:36 pace)

2-3:24 (5:28 pace)

3-3:29 (5:36 pace)

4-3:30 (5:37 pace)

I didn't have the time and energy to do one more, so I figured I better stop at 4 and be happy with what I did.

Did 1.5 mile cool-down home, now back to PT conferences, yes I did take a shower.

Good club run up through the Parkway and back down through Green Springs.  Had some shoe/sock issues which made the run a little uncomfortable, along with a full stomach from a big lunch at Pasta Factory with Sunny.

Ran with Bill and Steve this morning, we went down River Road, then back on the trail to the east and then back to the store.  Bill and I extended 3.5 miles more to make it 11.5  I had on way too many layers of clothing and overheated pretty bad.  This was a pretty good week of training for me, but my legs and hips are a little tired, so a couple days of rest will be nice.
