Little Buddha

I'm really struggling today. Back feels very stiff and I ate a ton of junk food this weekend on our trip. Hopefully, a good run tonight, will help get some of this stuff out of my system. I've been feeling pretty good lately with my training, but I really need to have a few good more weeks.

6 miles tonight, ran over to Hurricane down to 400 South, then around the Chevron and back to La Verkin. Felt pretty good.

Rode bike to work this morning (no training wheels again! Just in case Mike or Bull were wondering?)

I plan on doing some 1000m repeats this afternoon, right after school, then probably easy most of the week. I would like to do another run down the marathon course Saturday around 13 to 15 miles with 8 to10 miles at marathon race pace.

Really good workout this afternoon.  Nice weather as it was trying to rain, had to deal with a strong headwind though.

Did 2.5 mile warm-up around La Verkin, kind of funny this dog followed me around for about mile.  Also, saw Hobie Call outside with one of his kids, I didn't stop to talk, but did say hi.  I think we will be in his ward when we move at the end of the month.  So maybe I can get to know him a little better.

Workout 1000m repeats La Verkin loop.  The plan is to do at least 3, with 3:00 rest

1-3:27  (5:26 pace) Pretty good start, strong head wind the first part of the loop.

2-3:24 (5:23) New PR

3-3:26 (5:27) Legs feeling tired, and thinking I am probably done

4-3:27 (5:26) A little extra rest and then decided to start this one,  the whole time I felt like I was running slow, but the time actually ended up being ok

5-3:22 (5:19)  New PR. Took the shirt off and the I-pod and pushed the pace as best I could on tired legs. 

2.5 mile cool-down. 

I feel pretty good about this workout and plan on taking it easy for the next few days and then do another workout on Saturday.

Rode bike to work this morning., legs a little sore from the workout yesterday. 4 miles easy down through Confluence Park didn't feel very good, busy tonight working with my dad stretching the carpet in our new house.

6 miles up the La Verkin Twist and then a few miles up on top.  Pretty easy pace, temperatures a little on the warm side still.

Ran over to the substation in Hurricane and back

Good workout this morning, met up with lots of people at the marathon finish. Mike's wife drove us up 14 miles. I took the first three miles easy as a warm-up then pushed the next three. The goal was to be under 6:00 min pace for 10 miles. Last year we did a similar run and I finished just over 59:00, so I was interested this morning to see where I'm at.

1-5:24- Ok, I got a little too excited on this mile, but I was trying to catch back up to everyone, after I had stretched and went the bathroom. Catch Bruce

2-5:32- Catch Mike

3-5:38-Still feeling good- Catch the wildbull

4-6:13- Winchester Hill

5-6:21-Stopped for a quick water break- Catch Marcie

6-5:40 Back to pushing the pace

7-6:00 Having some hip, calf, and stomach issues

8-5:53

9-5:51

10-5:59 Stopped and cooled off for a few seconds in somebody's sprinkler.

Time 58:37 average 5:52. Pretty happy with this workout.

Easy mile cool-down with Bill back to the park. Waited for everyone else to come in, which was fun.

I then took off for Cedar Mountain and just got back. We had a fun time driving Sunny's cousin's Rhino around all afternoon.
