Little Buddha

Easy morning workout, legs a little stiff from Saturday. Did 4 miles tonight alternated between a decent tempo pace for a mile and a recovery pace for a mile, did two sets. After my short workout, went and had Jansen's birthday party over at the Sand Hollow swimming pool. The boys had a lot of fun we swam for about an hour and a half and so we are all pretty tired now.

Real easy morning run, body feeling a little stiff. Ran 6.5 miles tonight pretty relaxed pace, body is still feeling a little sore tonight need to stretch and get a little more rest.

Easy 3 mile workout this morning. Tonight I had a great workout. I had Sunny drive me out to Anderson Junction and I ran home through Toquerville. I have done this route before and it is nice because it has the miles marked pretty good. When I was first getting back into shape I would just run from mile marker 5 to my house which was right at 6.2 miles. The last few times she has dropped me off at mile marker 6 which is right under the freeway. The run from there to my house then is 7.2 miles. Anyway tonight's workout was really encouraging. The thing I enjoy most about running is being able to compete against yourself. I have always been pretty good at keep track of workouts and keeping a running journal, but I have really enjoyed this training blog Sasha has put together, because I seem to reflect more and write more about each workout. Just like tonight it has been encouraging to be able to go back and compare a similiar workout done on January 12th on the same route.

I really feel like I am getting stronger and my body can now sustain more intense running for longer periods of time.

Ran right after school, pretty easy body feeling a little sore and tired so I wanted to recover a little today.

easy this morning

Went out pretty late tonight, since it had been so hot during the day, and I was at the father and son's campout this morning. Ran from the house over 600 north through the golf course, down 600 north another mile then back, from there went over to the hotels and back on S.R. 9 through Hurricane and back to La Verkin. Right ankle and left knee were bothering me a little on the run, but I was still glad I got in the longer run tonight, and a pretty good week of training.
