Little Buddha

Basketball this morning. Feeling a little sick today, didn't really want to come to work, but it is more of a hassle to call a sub.

Real good workout tonight.  Jordan had ball practice at the high school, so I decided to do my 1000's tonight, instead of Wednesday as I was planning on doing.

It was still really hot when I started 90 degrees.  I did a 3 mile warm-up, then hit the track.  The plan was 6x1000 meters @ CV pace with 200 meters recovery, basically 2:00 minutes.

Interested to see how my times would compare on the track with my course in La Verkin.  1-3:30 (5:37 pace) Went out and felt pretty good on this first one

2-3:29  (5:36) Still feeling good

3-3:29  (5:36) Starting to warm-up, took a little longer recovery after this repeat.  I decided to take off my shirt which probably scared the other runners on the track, but the Little Budda needs some sun.

4-3:33  (5:42) Struggled

5-3:30  (5:37) Better and back on pace

6-3:30  (5:37) Worked pretty hard on this one, but still ended up with the same time.

I was pretty pleased with this workout for the following reasons.

1. I did this alone with nobody pushing me, which is how most of my workouts go

2. Warm temperatures

3.  Times were real consistent.

 Did 2 miles easy as a cool-down.

6 very slow easy miles tonight.  I'm suffering from some type of allergies or sinus infection.  It seems like I get this every year about May or when the weather turns really nice which it has this week.

Feeling a little better tonight, waited until it cooled off a little to get my run in.  I really didn't feel like running, after being sick for most of the day but did manage to get out.  Actually did the Hurricane Half 5K course twice.

The first time I drove my truck over to the high school, then ran the course backwards heading back to La Verkin.  Just took it easy time was 23:30.  Then I did 1.5 miles easy waiting for Sunny to get ready to run.

Then I paced Sunny as we ran the course back to the high school.  She did pretty good ran 29:12. She had a big day a total of 6 miles. 

Ran with the club tonight. Enjoyed running the first few miles of the run with Clyde and discussing the issue of prize money, or the lack of it (it almost brought me to tears)  Anyway, after about 3 miles Jeff and I cut the run short.  I was really struggling with my cough and wasn't feeling too good.  I was just happy to get in the miles I did this afternoon.

Another very difficult night of sleeping. I've been taking all kinds of medicine, but nothing seems to be helping this cough. Anyway, hope to run a few easy miles tonight, then do a longer run tomorrow with the guys. The week started off great and I thought maybe I would hit 70 miles, this week, but it is looking more like I'll be around 60, which I guess is ok. I've been more consistent this year as compared to last year at this same time.

Well, I came home and slept for a few hours, still not feeling very good.  Really strange the muscles in my legs have been cramping up, even when I'm just laying down.

I did go out and run 5.5 miles tonight, but I'm not sure about doing the long run tomorrow with the guys.  I guess I'll see how the night goes.

Busy morning and still not feeling good only did 2 miles.

Did 8 miles in Salt Lake.

This week started out good, but I was sick toward the end of the week, and didn't get in a long run or as many miles as I wanted to.
