30 minutes on the bike this morning.  Pretty rare for me, I went to play basketball and there were 9 guys so to make it even I came home and rode the bike.  I probably would have stayed and played, but my thumb is still really bothering me from jamming it last Monday.

9- Ran 9 miles this evening, still pretty hot out.  I ran out on 600 North, then cut down through the wash and made it to McDonalds.  I had to stop and use the bathroom there, then I ran over to the high school and watched a little of the football practice and then finally made it home.  My legs were pretty sore tonight, I think the run on Saturday really worked them.

6- Did 4 x Pah Tempe Hill Repeats.  I haven't done these repeats for a long time, but I've changed my training up a bit and plan on doing these more often along with the Yasso 800's. I plan to alternate between the two each week. It just seems like I was running better a few years ago, when I was doing both hill repeats and 800's.  I'm planning to do a weekly tempo run also.

Anyway did a 2 mile warm-up, started at 5:00 pm , but still really hot outside.

Pah Temple is like .31 in distance

1-2:21-legs feeling pretty tight

2-2:17- felt better

3-2:23-starting to hurt

4-2:34- stopped and walked for a bit

Did 2 mile cool-down.  I actually ran down to the river and swam for a bit, then made my way home.  My legs are dead, they were still sore from the run Saturday and today's workout probably didn't help.  I plan to take it easy tomorrow, and maybe do a tempo run Thursday or I may put it off until Friday.

3-La Verkin Loop this morning.

I didn't run this evening, had a pretty busy evening and didn't feel very good.  Hope for a better workout tomorrow.

5-This was a struggle this afternoon with the heat.  I did 5 over to the Hurricane City Park and back, then went to Jordan's football game, then to the temple to clean at 9:45.  My mom, Jodee and Grant came down today.

Basketball this morning.

3 Miles this afternoon, did the La Verkin Loop, it was super hot outside.  Also my birthday today, so not a lot of time after school for a run.  My family had lots of things planned, which was fun.

2.5 Warm-up

5 mile tempo run from Anderson Junction.  I rode out to the freeway with my mom, Jodee, and Grant as they were leaving town.  It was already pretty warm, so I knew that might be an issue.

1-5:59

2-5:53

3-6:11- had to stop for a bit and rest

4-6:20

5-5:56

This wasn't the best workout I've had on this route, but still nice to get in a little speed work, even though I should probably have gone for a longer run.

2.5 Cool-down this was a struggle.
