Little Buddha

I was hoping to get in some miles here in Salt Lake, but I just got back from the instant care.  It turns out the wasp sting was a little worse than I had expected.  My hand really got swollen last night and it bothered me all day at my class.  Anyway, I had to get two shots and some prescription stuff to help fight off the infection.  I'm not going to run tonight, but maybe tomorrow if the swelling goes down some.  The doctor told me to take it easy and hopefully the medication will kick in soon.  He said most likely the wasp was a yellow jacket which was carrying an infection, which got passed on to me.

Got home from being in Salt Lake for a week for the Wasatch Back and a college class.  The relay was a lot more fun than the class in case you were wondering.  I did an easy 5 miles 2.5 over to Hurricane High and 2.5 miles back.  The time was pretty slow and the weather was hot.

8 miles this morning. I ran out to Hurricane Intermediate and back. I felt better this morning than last night, but still some soreness in the legs.

Here are a few pictures from my WASP sting! I had to get two shots.

Not a very good run this morning.  I got a later start and the temps were already on the rise.  I did the 8 mile route from my house, over 600 North trail, got a drink at Sky Mountain then finished up at Brentwood Bowling.  Sunny was kind enough to come and pick me up.

This has been a pretty sorry week. It didn't help getting stung by the wasp and missing two days at the beginning of the week dealing with the infection. Anyway, the last few days have been better, and hopefully going into July I can have 4 good weeks of training. I do know having scout camp next week will make things a little more challenging

This morning, I didn't get up in time to make it over to run with the club. It sounds like they had a good run. I would have probably died. I ended up doing a 10 mile run out to Toquerville and back. I ran out in 40:44 (8:08 pace) and then came back in 38:11 (7:37 pace). Once again got a late start and the temperature was on the rise. One of these mornings I will learn.

2 easy miles tonight

*I just went back and was looking over my training, compared to where I was at last year at this time. After my run on Monday, I should be about 100 miles ahead of where I was last year at the end of June. I am pleased about this, especially considering I've had a few injuries this spring. Anyway, I really need to get in some good weeks during July/August/Sept.
