Little Buddha

Basketball this morning

4-Ran over to 400 North and then back, still not feeling very good.  Also I've gained some weight and I'm wondering if some of it is a result of taking the steroid inhaler?  I would expect to gain some weight by taking an entire week off of exercise, but this seems strange like I'm retaining water or something.

20 minutes on the exercise bike.

4-Overlook Sub Loop.  I felt pretty good tonight.

20 minutes on the exercise bike

5-Ran over to Hurricane City Park and then back home.  I felt ok on the run, listened to the scriptures on my ipod this morning, which was something I don't usually do.

Did 15 minutes on the exercise bike.

10 mile bike ride this evening

3-Ran over toward the gravel pit, then home on the highway.

Rode the exercise bike for 40 minutes tonight.

Today was my first day back to work.  Things weren't too bad, just lots of meetings.  Anyway I got away from school around 2:30 and got home to find my new Garmin 205 Forerunner waiting for me.  It took a little while to get it all programmed, like I wanted.

5- My schedule called for 2x1 mile repeats @ 5:39 pace with 800 rest.  Anyway, that didn't happen.  I did 1.5 miles warm-up around Hurricane and then hit the new track.

1-6:03 (1600m) I was basically struggling from the beginning, didn't help that is was 101 degrees outside when I was running at 4:00 pm

Did the 800 recovery, very slow

2-3:04 (800m) I struggled to do two laps, and stopped after the second lap.

1.5 mile cool-down.

4-Easy 4 miles this morning around La Verkin

4-Overlook Sub-division Loop.  I didn't have much time.  Felt ok, not great still hot out

10- I had planned on going over and doing the club run, but then decided against it.  I'm was worried about not being able to go 19 miles.  I haven't done any long runs since the Utah Valley Marathon.  It also didn't help that Jarren was up a few times during the night and the shuttle was leaving at 4:30 am (I don't do early mornings very well)  Anyway, I ended up sleeping in and then did a run from the start of the old Hurricane Half Starting Line back to my house.  Started late 9:00 am, so already hot.

1-7:13

2-6:35-

3-6:41

4-6:46- these were three pretty good miles

5-7:43 struggled on the hills..stopped and walked a little

6-8:38 a little more walking

8-6:31 Start of the downhill La Verkin Twist

9-6:08

10-7:14 backed off the last .5

1:12:07 average 7:13

This was a good run and test of where I'm at.  Lots of work to do.  Having bronchitis really sat me back the last few weeks.  Anyway, I guess we'll just see what happens the next few weeks.
