Afternoon run out to Payson and then back past the Stake Center to add a little more on all on canal road. A little slow but I really wasn't looking for pace today I just wanted to make sure I got in a run. My average pace was 9:03 with a total time of 57:08, it was a beautiful night time run and I'm glad I got out.

 

See ya tomorrow

Morning run out past the Stake center. It was a serious death march! I have had some rough runs in my career but not like this, not for a while anyway. My average pace was 9:40 with a total time of 39:40, like I said it was a very rough run. After getting back to the house I jumped in the hot tub, I hope that will help my legs recover.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran after work today and my legs felt a lot better than they did yesterday, pace was still slower than what I would like it to be but I feel like I am going in the right direction. I ran out to Mini Gu and then back to the house, my average pace was 8:51 with a total time of 54:02. I ran into my Brother and we caught up for a bit.

See ya tomorrow.

I crawled up Harry's Hill this Morning and then crawled back to the house the same way, I have really last a lot of fitness just from November. Oh well, I have only myself to blame, I hope I can get it back so I can at least finish the SGM in the fall. My average pace was slow at 9:38 with a total time of 1:00:09.

See ya tomorrow.

I had a really positive run this morning, it started out slow and difficult, average pace on the first 4 miles were 9:30, but the last 6 miles were in the 8:30 range with the last 2 miles being the quickest and the strongest, those miles were 8:20 and then 8:07. I felt like I could have gone more so that is a good sign that my old self is still in there I just have to stay consistent and it will come back. My average pace was 8:55 with a total time of 1:32:52, I'm really happy with this week and I just have to keep this up and I'll get back to where I was.

See ya Monday.

I ran the Payson Park Loop and I extended all the way to the Park, I haven't ran this route in a long while... I felt okay but not great and my legs had that hit the wall feeling the last few miles, but I was able to get it done and I am really happy with myself. My average pace was 8:57 with a total time of 1:04:11, I would like to get my time down around 58 minutes for this route but I will have to work at it.

See ya Tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini Gu Corner via canal road, it was a really rough run and my legs felt like the had hit the wall from the get go! But, I got the run done and that in its self is an accomplishment. My average pace was slow at 9:18 with a total time of 56:32, I know these runs are going to happen and I just need to get through them the best I can and realize that they are getting me to where I want to be...

See ya tomorrow.

I felt pretty good at the start this morning but then the last few miles were like a death march, not fun at all, and not to mention the major VPB that I had to endure. I ran out past Gu corner and then down into the river bottoms and then back to the house,  my pace was slow at 8:55 with a total time of 1:30:57... I wasn't able to run on Wednesday or Thursday because of work and then all the graduation stuff that was going on. Our last two kids graduated this year so we are done with high schoolers now, pretty crazy.

See ya Monday.

I ran the Payson Park loop but I cut out the rollers, I felt a little clunky on the way out but then on the way back I felt a little better. My average pace was 8:41 with a total time of 54:06, I was able to get in a pretty good rhythm and finished pretty strong, it is a good start to the week.

See ya tomorrow.
