Little Buddha

Still struggling with some illness, I have a pretty bad cough and stuffed up nose.  I wasn't going to run today, but decided to give it a try tonight and was able to manage six easy miles. I ran down and through a new subdivision they are building between La Verkin and Toquerville so it was a new route, made the time go by faster.  Hopefully, I'll be feeling better tomorrow.  This little illness has been bothering me since Thursday night.

Still feeling some sickness so took the day off.

Club run from Enterprise Res down toward Veyo. The run was ok, I'm a not a big fan of running on trails and dirt roads, but I just tried to do my best today. I felt pretty good the first 12 miles, except on some of the steep uphill sections. I stopped and waited for Bill at mile 11, then I pretty much struggled the rest of the run. We started a little later than we should have and I ran out of fluids, I think everybody was kind of feeling the effects of the heat, by the end. My coughing continued throughout the run, and was pretty bad the rest of the day. I finally got some better medicine later in the evening, which seems to have helped. I am still feeling a little drained though. My legs are feeling a little hashed from the run.

Better run this afternoon than yesterday morning with the club. I ran from the cabin in Pine Valley down to Central. There was some nice gradual downhill and I averaged 7:00 pace for 8.1 miles, and I felt like I was taking it pretty easy. I still have a little cough today, but seem to be feeling a little better. I don't think I'm going to make it over to the club run, tonight but I still might go out and do a few more miles here in La Verkin.

Didn't get out very early this morning. Ran 2.5 miles over to Hurricane High School, then did a few 800m repeats

1-2:44

2-2:41

3-2:43

4-2:45

I didn't feel very good on the 800s probably because of the heat and still feeling a little run down from the last few days.

The 2.5 miles home were very slow.

I didn't make it over to Clyde's to run with the guys this morning.  I had a rough night sleeping and so did a few of my kids.  Anyway, I did get out a little latter this morning and ran 12 miles.  I did an out and back course, out to Toquerville and up the road toward the freeway 6 miles, then turned and came back.  It was an ok run, variety of uphills and downhills.  My legs are feeling a little tight and I still have a little cough, but not as bad as the other day.  My mileage for the week is only 50, but I'm still satisfied, considering I didn't run much on Monday, and took Tuesday completely off, because I wasn't feeling too good.  I registered for the Bryce Canyon Half Marathon yesterday, and I'm excited for the race.  I feel like I'm in better shape than last year, so I'm getting excited to see how my times will compare.
