Little Buddha

Played a few games of basketball this morning. Planning on a track workout this evening after driver's ed.

Really good workout tonight. I've tried a few times to do some 1000m repeats but have not been able to do much of a workout, due to either feeling sick or dealing with bad weather. This afternoon, I felt really good and decided before hand that I wanted to do 6 repeats no matter how slow I had to run them.

It was kind of nice, I decided not to do driver's ed tonight, so I got home a little earlier and then did a 2.5 mile warm-up over to Hurricane High School. The high school track team was still practicing, but Coach Prince said it wasn't a problem at all if I wanted to do my workout, so that was nice, except for having to dodge kids standing and visiting in lane 1, plus had to watch out for high school kids learning how to throw the javelin.

Anyway got started and the first three repeats felt great, 4th one not too bad, but the 5th was kind of a struggle. I was ready to stop after 5, but I just decided to give myself a little more recovery and then really tried to push it on the last one. I was really pleased with the consistency of the repeats and I was right in time zone I was shooting for 3:33-3:38. I did 100 m recovery between each which was about 1:30.

1-3:34

2-3:33

3-3:33

4-3:33

5-3:34

6-3:30

Did two more lap to finish to make it 5 miles on the track, then a very easy 2.5 miles home. Good start to the week and one big workout in the bag.

An hour hiking with the scouts, not much of a workout.  Rest of the evening was very busy. The rest of the week should be better for running.

Another morning at the gym. Planning on running 10-12 tonight after work. Tough run tonight, I drove up to some trails between La Verkin and Virgin and did a 9 mile loop out through the desert. For part of the run I made it over to Sheep Bridge Road then followed that out to the Quary Trail then ran on that for a bit, then came back. I got back to the highway and picked up the pace a little the last two miles. Overall, nice to see some different country and do a new run, but my legs are feeling a little tired now from the ups and downs of trail running. As the guys in the club know I'm usually not a real big fan of trail running.

Run with the club, up over the trail above the golf course.  We came out on Main the extended down past the temple and over to the college, then back on Tabernacle and Diagonal.  I felt pretty good throughout the run, and even managed to stay with the group for the most part on the trails.

Stratus- 9 First day wearing the shoes and they felt pretty good. 

An hour and 30 minutes of basketball really good workout this morning.

I wanted to watch the mile race this morning at the Hurricane Track meet, so I didn't go over and run with the club. Anyway, I did an 8 mile loop over the 600 North trail, to Sky Mountain Golf Course, then back on the highway to the high school, watched the meet, then did a 1.5 loop cool-down with Hayden, Karl, and a few of the Timpview kids. Then 2.5 miles home. I'm wanting to go out again this afternoon and get a few more miles in to make it 60 for the week.

Stratus- 21 I'm really liking the feel of these shoes.

I went out and did 4 more miles this afternoon, pretty windy as I headed up the La Verkin Twist, but was nice coming back down. I hit my goal for the week and should be able to get in a good week this coming week with Spring Break and a little more time.
