Noon run, sunny, temp. 73'

Nice Autumn day for a run.  My throat was only about half as sore this morning as it has been in the last few days.  Hopefully, I'm on the downward end of the sore throat. 

Reading all the great success stories of the SGM and following Tom and Logan as they have progressed this year makes me want to train better next year and see if I can get a PR in the marathon.  We'll see if the enthusiam makes it through the winter months.

Noon run, sunny, temp. 78'

I was thinking about doing a 2 mile temp run and I was hoping to get 5:45's.  I ran a couple of easy miles then ran a 5:46 mile wind aided.  As I turning into the wind I was hoping to get under 6:00 but I just couldn't get going.  I ended up with a 6:20.  I even new Cal was on the trail and if I ran hard enough I might be able to catch him but that didn't help either. 

When I have a day that I don't perform how I wanted to I get this funny feeling that somone is catching up to me.

Noon run, sunny, temp. 60'

I played a little ward basketball last night.  It is always fun to play when you're in shape.  Basketball combined with yesterdays workout has left me a little sore so I was glad for an easy day.  I started out doing miles just over 8 minutes but after running a few miles I started thinking that if I picked up the pace a little that I could get my mile average under 8's.  My body might not have been happy with the desision but my mind was.

Morning run, temp 50'

My legs were still a little sore from basketball a couple of days ago but I felt good and had energy.  I ran to Bingham Highs track and ran 1 mile on the track in 6:35 and then headed back home.  Nobody was catching me today.
