Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

Ohhhh....today felt like a nice brisk fall morning.  Not too shabby!  

Two mile warm up with Tom and then we were both off on our mile repeats.  My plan called for 3-4 x mile @ 5 k pace.  After 3 I was pretty much done but I forced myself to do a 1/2 mile too.

1: 7:29

2: 7:26

3: 7:30

1/2 mile 7:26 pace

These fast runs are keeping my left hammie a little unhappy.  I will have to keep an eye on it.

Later took Tia and Lily to the Manti Temple for some baptisms.  Very nice day except I blew it by eating a steak and swiss sandwich and piccadillys at The Malt Shop.   

Since I am a little worried about my ham string issues I decided that today needs to be rest/recovery between some fast yesterday and some long, fast and down hill tomorrow.  I would like to see this issue getting better not worse.  I am going to sacrifice some miles this week in order to help that be the case.  I plan to take a double day rest on Sat and Sun.  Hopefully by next week I will see some improvement.  I really want to be able to do my best at SGM this year so I hate to deviate from my schedule, but if I end up injured the plan to do my best will definitely be out the door.  Hmmmmm.....trying not to cross that fine line of being able to do my best and not get injured.  

We are not going to be available to get our long run in on Saturday so Tom and I, along with Stephen A took our downhill run and turned it into our long run.  From the drop off point up Payson Canyon to the corner by my house is 20 miles so it works out perfectly. 

We dropped a few coolers on our way over to Peteetneet so we could have some water stops along the way.  The down hill lasts 8 or 9 miles then some rolling hills for a mile or two and then the rest was mostly flat-ish with a few more ups than downs.   

Tom did all that on 3 1/2 hours of sleep after getting home from the Rush concert last night!   Way to go Tom!
