Little Buddha

Good Workout tonight with Steve. I decided to stay over in St. George after work and run mile repeats with Steve at the park. I did a 2.5 mile warm-up before he got there, then we got into the workout. Our goal was to run around 5:40 and be able to run at least 3 repeats.

1- 5:35 This first one felt real comfortable and I even found myself holding back just a bit.

2- 5:30 Once again another good repeat, didn't feel like we had picked it up that much, but 5 seconds faster.

3-5:25 Started feeling some discomfort on this one, mainly my stomach cramping up a little.

Decided we could handle one more and probably not kill ourselves.

4- 5:19 We started this one at quite a bit faster pace than the previous repeats so I knew we would either finish with a fast time, or make it around one time and be dead. Anyway we made the first 800 in no problem, then Steve picked it up. He really ran the last 800 strong, I struggled to keep up and finished in 5:19 about 2 seconds behind him.

After the repeats jogged another mile easy. Overall, good workout and felt pretty good, especially considering I still am recovering from being sick last week. Plan on doing some more workouts like this over the next few weeks.

Easy recovery run tonight 5 miles down by through Confluence Park, then up the hill into La Verkin and back through Overlook Subdivision. Body feeling a little sore from the mile repeats yesterday.

3.5 easy miles this morning, had to force myself out of bed, but glad I did. This afternoon I did an 8.5 mile run from Snow Canyon Middle along the trail to Ivins then back down into Santa Clara (man they have that street all tore up now) then over toward Corey and Danielle's old house, then back to the school.

Didn't run today, got sick the last period of the day at school. I was really dizzy and I even had to have a cousin drive me home to La Verkin. Spent the rest of the night laying on the bed and resting. Still feeling kind of off-balance this morning.

Still feeling sick

The club didn't meet this morning, so I slept in, I'm still not feeling the best, really strange I have just really felt off balance. I spent much of the day preparing for a talk I have to give in church tomorrow. I did start feeling a little better this afternoon, but I just decided that I would rest another day, plus tomorrow and look forward to Monday.
