Morning run, temp 65'

I took last Saturday off to do family reunion stuff.  Today I'm going to girls camp with the youth of the ward.  Probably wont run tomorrow.

Time 44:40

Morning run, muggy, temp. 72

I was hoping for low 60's not low 70's for a morning run.  But I thought I'd start off the month right with a good tempo run since last month my mileage slipped as I let reunions and family fun get in the way of my running. 

I procrastinated too long and now both Provo River and Hobble creek are closed.  I'll probably sign up for the Park City 1/2 on Aug 25th.  That should motivate me for the month. 

This mornings run went good but not as good as a couple of weeks ago when I tried the same workout.  I ran 3.7 miles to Bingham track and then did a 3 mile tempo run with mile splits as follows, 6:01, 6:08, 5:53 for an average of 6:01 miles.  I wimped out on the 2nd mile.  It is hard to keep pushing when it hurts.  After the tempo run I was much more tired than two weeks ago when I ran the 3.7 miles back home two and a half mintues faster than today.

Total time 76:24,  Mile avg. - 7:21

Noon run, muggy, partly sunny, Temp 80'

I played church basketball for an hour and a half last night.  It was fun to play when you're in good shape, however, it definalty effected my running today.  I was a bit sore all over.

Time 57:45,  Mile avg. - 8:02

Morning run, muggy, Temp 70'

Playing basketball Wednesday night made me sorer than I thought.  My back arms and legs were sore.  I ran my bangater loop that is slightly down hill the 1st half and then up the second half.  My first mile was a 7:48 and it didn't feel good but after a couple more miles I started feeling somewhat better and I decided to push a bit more.  I ran the second half faster than the 1st half which I rarely do.  Hopefully tomorrow most of the stiffness will be gone.

Time 44:15,  Mile avg. 7:23

Morning run in ParkCity with Taunia riding a bike along-side, temp 55'

It was very nice to run at ideal running tempuratures.  Not sure how far I ran but I ran between 40-44 minutes.

Dallas's team took 2nd in the Park City soccer tournament.  It was fun to watch.  They lost the final game 2 to 1.
