I finally was able to muster up a run and boy was it nice outside.. It feels like spring is on its way, at least it is teasing us anyway. I ran out to the old BYU farm via Salem Canal road I could not seem to keep my speed down, it wasn't like I was going fast but I felt like I was going faster than I should be. All my pace miles were right around 8:30 mile except for 2 of them but even those were still below a 9:00 minute mile. My average pace was 8:35 with my heart rate average at 151 and total time was at 1:00:10, my legs felt good from the 4 day layoff and my toe was negligible or not to bad, but we shall see how they are in the morning. I hope to be getting more sleep in the next couple of days, it has been a ruff couple of days, well four really tough days but life goes on...

I did have some good tunes this morning to help things along, Eagles, Peter Frampton, Billy Joel, REO SpeedWagon, Blood Sweat & Tears, Rascal Flatts, and last but not least, Journey...

Thank you boys!

See ya tomorrow

Glad to hear you were able to get out and enjoy the pre-spring weather. Hope that toe gets feeling better soon.

Great that you had a good run today. Hope tomorrow is just as good.

Good tunes. I think we must be from around the same era.

Good job today Bro. Sorry the last few days have been a pain. It's a good thing perfection is an eternal trek, cause I know I'm going to need it.
