El Burro Blanco

15.20 miles in the morning.

5 miles in the afternoon.

I slept in a bit and really was glad I did it.  I started at my parent's house and then went out to Ivins and then into Kayenta.  I actually stopped once I got into Kayenta.  I forgot how beautiful it is out there.  It was quiet and so serene.  It was just me, mother earth, and multi-million homes!  I felt really good this morning and ended up doing the run at 6:13/mile overall.  It feels good to really get the legs moving again.  I will do some more this afternoon.  I did another 5 miles this afternoon.  It was nice but a little hot.  I had to hurry out because my dad made chicken and rice for dinner.  My favorite!

15 miles in the morning.

5 miles in the early evening.

I went out 7.5 towards Gunlock on Highway 91.  I made it to the turnoff to go towards Gunlock and then came back.  It was a nice run because their was not a lot of traffic.  Also, under the bridge out there I saw two deer.  I think I scared them because they took off down the river.  It was a little hot and it reminded me that I will have to get up earlier to make sure I do not dehydrate.  Kept the pace nice and easy.

I did another 5 miles this evening.  Katey and my dad rode their bikes alongside me.  It was a lot of fun.  Slight wind made it really nice.

8 miles in the morning.

14.30 miles in the early evening.

Nice little breeze helped make the run quite enjoyable.  I need to make sure I drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.  That is for sure.

Katey and I went and looked at lots of houses today.  I was beat.  Hopefully we will be able to find something.  Their seems to be a lot of options though.  I ran over to the running store and met up with Hayden after he was done with work.  We ran down to Vernon Worthen Park and back.  Afterwards I ran back to my parent's house.  It was a nice run this evening.  I am truly loving this weather.  I averaged 6:21/mile overall.  This was one of the better days for me of running.

8 miles in the afternoon.

10.15 miles in the evening.

I felt really good this morning.  I kept the pace easy for the first 4 miles and then pushed it a little on the way back.  Perfect temperature with a slight breeze.  Looking forward to the club run tonight.

I ran with the club tonight.  It was lots of fun.  We started at the store and then went out on the parkway and then down towards Sunbrook Golf Course.  Their was a nice little paved trail that we went on.  It was a fun run.  I am going to enjoy running with all the St. George guys again.  Another solid day in the books.

8 miles in the morning.

12 miles in the evening.

I went out towards Ivins again this morning.  There has been a slight breeze every morning this week while I've ran.  I can't believe how nice it is has been.  Oops, I forgot!  It will be much hotter later.  Kept it nice and relaxed.

I went out just as the sun was going down.  It really is the perfect time to go running.  I know I won't be able to do this all the time though.  Since we have moved down here I have been looking for good runs and I think I found my favorite run tonight.  I went out towards Tuacahn and went up into Snow Canyon State Park.  It was absolutely breathtaking.  It was a good run.  My legs finally are coming around since the marathon.  I think I will be starting up the speed workouts again here really soon.  Averaged 6:22/mile for the entire run. 

I ran with Steve, Dave, Wildbull, and Marcie today.  We started at the store and run up all the way through Snow Canyon and then back down the marathon course.  The uphill was quite brutal but on the way down it made things nice.  A slight breeze and cooler temperatures made it a very enjoyable run.  Good conversation with everyone.  Great way to end the week.
