I couldn't get out of bed this morning, just pure laziness! Hopefully later today I will kick myself in the butt and get out and get something done!

Later.

PM- I got home from work and decided I need to get my lazy but out the door so I headed out towards Pretty little hill and ran that loop, I then headed out towards mini GU corner but stopped short and then headed back for home. I found myself going to fast so I would slow back down but then the last mile I seemed to feel better running at a faster pace (8:26) it just seemed to be less laboring... Tomorrow I will probably only run around 3 miles and then just a couple on Friday before Cindie and I head down to St George, it will be interesting to see how I hold up for the 10K, I'm not expecting to much... I'm running with my Bro. Curtis and my nephew Bryan, so it should be fun;-) My average pace was 8:50 with my total time at 53:56, heart rate was at 148, there was a little up hill today but not much.

See ya tomorrow.

Clay, leave the watch at home, enjoy the run with family. Hey, thanks for the kudos - you know how hard it is to keep in shape when not running. Have fun in St. George.
