Speed only kills if you don't have it!

I ran out into River Heights and Providence this morning. I am a little sore from the 1/2 on Saturday, but not too bad. My pace was easy since it was a recovery run, but I'm not sure how easy? I left my watch on the dashboard of my truck all weekend and the sun killed it. I was pretty bummed about it, since it was such a cool watch. Now I guess I really will have get my Garmin 205, but who knows how long that will take to get here, so I might be watchless for a while.

No run today. I moved all day and night long and finally finished.  Moving really sucks, but I am sure glad to be out of those apartments!  I am very tired and sore from all the stress and lifting.  Hopefully I can recover and get some good runs in the rest of the week.

AM-  I went out on my first run as a resident of Box Elder County today.  I ran North along the canal road/Bonneville Shoreline Trail until I hit Sardine Canyon.  I crossed over the road and ran through Brigham City golf course and up to the top of the radio towers.  I went back home the same way.  I started at 8 minute pace and slowly moved down to about a 6:40 pace.  It felt good to get out and get some stress out of my body.  I enjoyed the run, and hope I can find a bunch of other good trails and routes.  Maybe moving won't be too bad for my running, because I will have some more variety in my training. 12 miles.

PM-  Met Paul, Cody, and Jaxon(Cody's 2 year old) at the Rec Center.  Ran around Planet Walk and west Logan back to Paul's house.  I did an extra 1/2 mile on my own after dropping Paul off at his house.  6.5 miles.

Ran on the canal trail/BST in Willard.  I went south today and ran over by South Willard to the canyon.  I turned around at the gravel mine and came back the same way.  I ran a pretty solid pace, around 7:00 ave, which is pretty good for that trail.   I did have a little discomfort with my right foot today.  Last night I pulled out a part of plantar wart that I had and it hurts like crazy today.  I have never had one of those warts before, but they sure hurt when you bug them.  I wore extra padding around it so that I could run today.  Hopefully it will go away soon, because it is right on the ball of my foot where I toe off.

AM-  I got my Garmin 205 yesterday.  I ordered it on Monday and it got here on Thursday, not bad for only $2 of shipping.  I wasn't going to go out this morning but I had to try out my new toy.  I still don't really know what I am doing with it because what I know is just from messing around for a few minutes, I haven't read the instructions yet.  It is fun to play with though.

I went out for 5 miles via canal trail over to Willard canyon and back.  I spent most of my run just screwing around with my Garmin.  It was late morning so it was getting hot, and I was getting alot of sweat in my eyes.  My foot wasn't as tender today, so I was glad for that. 37:55 for the run.

I drove over to Logan early this morning to run a long run.  Cody, Dan, Logan, and I ran with Jon's running club from work.  We did a big loop from Newton around the North/West part of the Valley, through towns that I have never been itn before.  The run was mostly out in the fields with alot of rolling hills. One of the guy's wife would stop every three miles or so with water and poweraid.  Dan stayed back with his son Trevor (who was on a bike) and Russ Bennett after a couple of miles, and  Jon, Logan, Cody, and I went ahead. We ran about 10-11 miles and picked up the pace.  Even though I had my Garmin on I didn't pay much attention to how fast we were going, but I think it was mostly around 6 minute pace, give or take 15 seconds either way.   I liked the run, and it was cool to run in a different place with other people, but I would probably not run out that way on my own. 

When we got back to the church and park where we had started from in Newton, we were at just under 18 miles, so we added a couple more miles to make it 20.  There was some food and drinks at the finish, and I guess that they were going to cook up a big breakfast, but we all had to go do other things today.  Maybe next time I will stick around and bum some free breakfast off of Jon's work club.  I helped Paul fill his front yard with woodchips before heading back home.

It was a good run today, eventhough I have been extremely tired this week from the move.  Even with a tough start to the week I still managed to run 65 miles, so I was happy about that.  Hopefully I can recover from everything and get ready to PR in the TOU half next weekend, it should be a fun race.
