Didn't get out today, still recovering a little from my trip to California. I'm excited to get back to training, just need to find another race to consider running. I find it really helps me, if I have a big race or goal to be working towards. I was pretty excited to find out that over the weekend one of my best friends from high school and former teammate Clint Wells won the Denver Marathon in 2:28. Clint has been living in the Boulder area, pretty much since high school (went to college at CU) and has quite a resume when it comes to running. I was really happy to see him win a large marathon like Denver, hopefully I will be able to run into him sometime over the Holidays back in Craig. At least now I feel like I'm in good enough shape I could hang with him on an easy run.

Did a run tonight up the La Verkin twist to mile marker 15 and back down to my house. It was pretty windy and a bit chilly, plus going up the steep hill didn't help much. Overall, my body is still feeling a little sore, hips, knees and groin especially.

First part from house to mile marker 12-4:50 might be a bit longer than half a mile.

marker 12 to 13- 7:20

marker 13 to 14- 8:33, this is the steepest part

marker 14 to 15- 7:35

turn around and stretch a bit

marker 15 to 14-7:13

marker 14 to 13-6:51

marker 13 to 12-6:54

Easy jog home from mile marker 12-4:52.

Will continue to get out each day this week and see how the body responses, things should start getting a little easier. Fortunately I haven't gained much weight since the marathon and since my little vacation last week.

Anybody from the club, what time are we running on Thursdays and Saturdays now?

Played basketball this morning for about an hour= 3 easy miles. Had a pretty good workout tonight, easy .5 mile warm-up, then did 3 miles at a faster pace on state road 18 through Hurricane

mile marker 11-10-6:48 slight hill coming out of La Verkin

mile marker 10-9-6:31 on and off the sidewalk

mile marker 9-8- 6:19 feeling in a good rhythm, slight uphill the last 400.

Easy .5 mile cooldown

Did a loop from my house over past the softball fields in Hurricane, over 600 North trail, then turned left and headed down to Cottonwood Lane, this was a new route and was nice, came back through Hurricane on the road behind Lins. Distance was 7.6 when I did Google Earth, time was 58:00 so right around 7:38 pace. I really struggled the few 3 miles, hip was bothering me, the next two miles felt a little better and I really picked up the pace the last 2.5 miles. Sorry I had to miss the run with the club, I had a meeting I had to be at tonight. I'm planning on Saturday morning at Chuckawalla at 7:00 am.

Ran down past Pah Tempe, then back up past Howards, up along 100 East, down to the park, then back on 300 west. Easy pace 4.5 miles, I seem to have a nagging pain through my hip area, and just to the right of my tail bone, odd location and I haven't really ever experienced pain in that location, don't really know what it is?

Ran from Chuckwalla with the club (Steve, Clyde, Dave, no Bill injured, and newcomer Toby Salazar over to the T-Bone trail and out along the powerline came back down by Clyde's house then back up over Skyline Drive, decided to turn down Main Street hill and come back on Diagonal. We went 13.5 miles which was quite a bit further than I was planning on going, put I felt ok with the pace, hip flexors are still sore and continue to feel some pain on my back side. It will be nice to have the rest of the weekend off.
