Today wasn't the best day of eating.  I usually do pretty bad on the weekend, especially Sunday. 

Went and played basketball this morning for over an hour, then I did an easy 2 miles to the fire hydrant and back. Will get in some more miles tonight.

B-bowl of cereal with milk

L-beef taco, black beans, rice, power aid

D-grilled chicken sandwich, cup of chili, power aid

Sunny and I did a loop I'll refer to as the Overlook 5K. Basically left our house, ran down main street, past Farmer's Market, then down through the Overlook Subdivison and back home on 300 West. For some reason we slower than normal. Tomorrow I'm going in for a massage with April. I guess it is the cool thing to do now days. Bill, Marcie, Clyde, and Logan have all gone lately. I'm actually interested to see if she can help me get over some of the hip pain and issues I've been having.

Two easy miles this morning with Sunny and Jarren in the stroller. I didn't get up and run with Marcie and Bill (sorry guys).

Nimbus-173 

This afternoon I had a massage with April. It went good, she worked on my calf which she said was a very deep pull. She also said my hip problems, were probably related to too much stress and everything was just centralizing in my quads and hips. She said there were no major knots, just that I needed to reduce my stress level. She said, she thought some of my problems might be more mental than physical (no I'm not joking)

6 more miles tonight. I did 4 on the treadmill while watching the Lakers/Celtics game, then ran 2 with Sunny and Jarren.

Stratus-209.5

B-bananna

L- pasta, slice of pizza, 1 breadstick, gatorade

D- BBQ sandwich, watermelon, piece of cake and some ice cream (went to a party)

Steve Hooper called me earlier today and asked if I felt up to doing a longer run with him from Hurricane over to Washington. I figured since I missed the run with Marcie and Bill earlier in the week, maybe I should give this run a try. We met up at Hurricane High about 7:30 and the run started out really good. We hit some decent miles cruising along state road 9 and even out by Sand Hollow we still were running strong. Both of us struggled a little once we started coming into Washington. Steve had some stomach issues and my hips were bothering me as usual. Still it was a nice long run, something I haven't done in quite some time. The temperature was nice and it was good to visit with Steve and run a route I've never been on before. I'm just a little worried about my legs and hips being ready for the Utah Summer Games 10K on Friday. I'm planning on taking it real easy on Thursday and probably won't be at running club.

Stratus-228

B- 2 orange rolls, glass of passion fruit juice (my favorite)

L- bean burrito, taco, lemonade

D- protein shake after the run, glass of chocolate milk, gatorade

2:00 am an assortment of all kinds of things, I was starving.

Weight earlier this evening was 145 lbs

Easy 3 mile run with Sunny and Jarren. Went over and talked to Joel Timo for a bit, should be starting on the pool in the next few weeks. Then we ran down Main Street and down to Pah Tempe, then up Pah Tempe hill pushing the stroller.

Cumulus-112.5

3 more miles tonight did the La Verkin 5K loop with Sunny and Jarren. It has been nice doing some easy runs with them. I really don't know what to expect tomorrow in the Summer Games 10K. I don't feel like I'm as fast as last year, so it will be interesting to see.

B-cereal

L-Classic Italian on wheat from Quizno's, lemonade

D-spaghetti

Not a very good race for me this morning. I didn't feel that great when I got up, but figured I should run the even, since I had paid for it already. Bill and Robin picked me up and I slept most of the way to Cedar in the car. Didn't feel much better on the bus ride up to the start. Did close to a mile warm-up then the race started.

1-5:29 Started out slower than most of the guys I should have been running with and was never able to catch back up.

2-5:29 Did pass a few people this mile, but pretty much run most of this race alone.

3-5:41 Hips starting to feel tight and legs a little tired.

5K split 17:07

4-5:41 Just coasting along, not really feeling that great

5-5:48

6-5:44 Felt a little better this last mile

.02- 59.50

Overall time was 34:53 (5:36 pace) so quite a bit slower than last year, but the race distance was more accurate this year.

Anyway, not really that pleased with the race, but I figured going in I wasn't in as good as shape as last year. It may not have helped that I did the 18.5 mile run Wednesday night with Steve. I think that might have taken a little out of my legs, anyway no big deal. Hopefully, I can run some decent legs next week during Wasatch Back.

9 very, very slow miles in the heat of the day. Got home from camping with the scouts, then went and set out flags for flag day, then feed the scouts breakfast. When I was finally able to get my run in it was already very hot out. Ran over to Sky Mountain Golf Course, then back through Hurricane. Stopped numerous times for water.

La Verkin 5K loop with Sunny and Jarren in the stroller. Nice and easy. I got pretty burnt on my run this afternoon.
