Little Buddha

Traveled most of the day and didn't run. Body feeling a little tired so an extra day of rest might be alright.

Did 3 Castle Rock hill loops

1-5:00

2-4:54

3-4:52

Still pretty hot outside and legs feeling tired, but I was happy I was able to get faster on each one. Got home tonight and did another 3 miles easy.

Good run this afternoon, left the school at 2:00 pm did close to an 8 mile loop down to the Sunbrook golf course, then up Dixie Drive, over to the bike trail came out by Paradise Canyon Subdivision then back to the school. Right foot started hurting on the way back, so I'm icing it right now. I might do some more miles tonight, we'll see how I'm feeling. It was a cooler afternoon and felt good to be out running. Went out and did 3 more easy miles this evening, foot seemed to be feeling a little better, still a little concerned.

Ran 2 easy miles this morning down 300 west to the fire hydrant and back. This afternoon did the Oil Can Henry Loop 5.5 miles, plus .5 warm-up, .5 cool-down. Meet up with Clyde and Bill tonight, we did a nice run down to the river, up through Bloomington, then back on River Road, very nice evening cool temperature, plus some rain, the run was 8 miles, then I did another mile at the park.

Did 4.5 easy miles this morning, legs feeling a little tired from miles yesterday, but not too bad. Ran tonight in Provo did 8.5 up around 900 East over to sister's house then down to the mall back to the hotel

Eventful day, ran 4 miles this morning at the cross country meet in Provo, was fun to watch all the races, especially the college men's 4 mile, wish I could get back to those days when I was running like those guys. Bus ride home was ok, slept most of the way, then decided to go out and try to get a long run in. Sunny drove me up to Oak Grove Camp Ground and I ran back to La Verkin, through Leeds and Toquervile, she clocked the distance at 19.8 in the car and I started a little further up the road than she clocked and I so it was probably pretty close to 20 miles, it took me 2:24 and I felt pretty good especially the first 10 to 12 miles, however about 2 miles into the run I started feeling some burning on the bottom side of my right foot, I thought maybe it was just the fact I was running down a pretty good hill, and maybe the pain would go away once I got down to level ground, however the pain didn't go away. I decided to stop after about 6 miles and adjust my socks, but that did help feet continued to feel on fire the entire run, but besides that I was really feeling pretty good and enjoyed the evening, I just wish I would have started about an hour earlier it was hard running about an hour and a half in the dark. Once I got home and could finally take my shoes off I had a nice bloody sock and two big blisters on the bottoms of my feet, the right side was really bad and had quite a bit of fluid in it, the left side wasn't so bad, but still painful. I guess if anything I learned one combination of socks and shoes not to wear in the marathon. Good week of training and glad I got the long run in plus the mileage only running five days this week.
