Little Buddha

Did a good run from Anderson Junction to house.

.5 warmup

1-5:58- good first mile, with a little uphill and then gradual downhill

2-5:42 (11:40) quite a bit of downhill

3-6:13 (17:53) fairly flat through Toquerville

4-6:16 (24:10) rolling hills

5-6:22 (30:34) quite a bit of downhill here, but I was in recovery mode from the first 4 miles, which I had pushed pretty hard, especially considering the temperature outside was still in the high 90s.

6-7:47 (38:22) hill coming up into La Verkin, feeling pretty wiped out at this point.

.2-1:35 (39:58)

7-5:59 (45:57) good last mile down 300 west to the house.

.5 cool down

.5 mile warm-up then 2X10 min @ 10K + 10 sec pace with 5 min in between reps. 1.5 cool down. Ran 4 easy miles tonight

3.5 easy miles this morning. 3.5 miles easy tonight, I'm really wiped out from work today, so I took it easy tonight, plan on doing some hill repeats tomorrow morning and then a run with the club tomorrow night.

Did 5x Pah Tempe hills around 2:00 pm this afternoon (I had about an hour and a half between jobs, so I decided to get the workout in, since I didn't get up this morning and do it)

Did a mile warm-up then

1- 2:20-took it a little slower than the first one I did last time.

2- 2:14-Felt ok, but already feeling the heat, and legs still feeling a little tight

3-2:17- Hardest one

4-2:16-first part of the hill was pretty hard, but the second half went better

5-2:16-thought I was going faster, but I was still pleased with the time and the overall workout, especially considering the heat and the time of day, plus I had put in 6 good hours of physical labor, before the workout. Did a mile cool down. Plan on running with the club later tonight. Ran 5 miles easy tonight with the club.

5 miles easy this morning. Tonight I decided to go out and do a longer run, partly because the weather was overcast and a little cooler tonight, I was going to do 9 miles out by Sand Hollow Res. but ended up going just over 12 miles (12.3) decided to add on an additional 3 miles by running around the lake. Started at Brentwood Bowling and ran out on Flora Tech Road. I saw tons of rabbits and ran past one small rattlesnake laying in the middle of the road, fortunately it didn't scare me as bad as I thought it would. Like Clyde I don't like snakes! Anyway good workout took me 1:33.16 which was 7:35 pace felt real comfortable.

Did 8.5 miles out to Red Mountain Spa from Chuckawalla with Steve and Bill, felt pretty good. Glad I got up and did the run, put me at 60.5 miles for the week. Now, I will taper a little for the Freedom Run 10K on Tuesday in Provo.
