My hip seems to be coming around and even though my pace was a little slower than I'd like I still felt pretty good... I was quicker toward the end on the last few and I felt like I could have gone more. My legs were a little tired from walking around Lagoon for 8 Hours yesterday, so all in all it was a success. My average pace was 9:01 with a total time of 2:18:22.

See you Monday.

Sacred Grove Route. I felt pretty good on the way up but still slow on the way down, in the past I can break the 7:30 guy but I can't seem to beat the 8 Minute guy anymore. I had 2 miles MP at 8:08, 8:06, not the best but thats as good as I can do on this route for some reason. My average pace was 9:53 with a total time of 1:20:26, I finished up with some lower body weight training.

See you tomorrow.

I felt horrible and it was pretty much a death march, I didn't even feel like adding on when I got back to the house my legs were just toast. The last 3 miles were just nasty. Average pace was real slow at 9:50 with a total time of  2:19:05, pretty rough.

See you Monday.

No Loafer Canyon this week, my legs and pace are just pathedic and I need to stay away from the heavy hill, up and down. My pace was so slow again at 9:38 with a total time of 1:09:07, I feel like I'm back to where I was a few  months ago. Oh well such is life.

See you tomorrow.

I really was struggling through about 11 miles. Kind of like last week and then my legs kind of came to life for some strange reason, the last 3 miles were like I would like then to be. My average pace was 9:13 with a total time of 2:19:26.

See you Monday.

Really rough run again this morning, my foot really hurt too. I noticed it more on the downhill than the flat, that doesn't bode well for the Nebo Half... My average pace was super slow at 9:49 with a total time of 1:09:58, I finished up with some upper body weight training and some push-ups. Frustrating.

See you tomorrow.

The first few miles were really slow and stiff but then I started to just work on my tunrover to try and get my legs to loosen up and it seemed to work. My average pace was 8:57 with a total time of 1:03:50, miles 4,5,6,7 were all in the 8:30 or better range. Foot cooperated for the most part.

See you tomorrow.

Payson Park loop, My legs are just gone and my ITband and Glute on the right side are just down right painful. I couldn't get them to loosen up this morning so my pace was way off again. I feel like I am right back to where I was before the Protein drink. Frustrating. Average pace was slow at 9:41 with a total time of 1:10:32.

See you tomorrow.

I just feel like I am getting slower and slower and slower... Legs hurt and I just don't have any energy and turnover at all. I can't remember being so frustrated and just discouraged with my running. My average pace was slow at 9:40 with a total time of 2:07:37... Nebo Half should be interesting next week. I don't think I'll take 2nd in my age and 1 sub 1:40 like last year... No way in Hell.

See you Monday.

33 minutes on the elliptical to try and loosen up the legs for Saturday. I'm still super sore in the Glute and ITBand. Oh well. Not much I can do now.

See you tomorrow.

Just trying to loosen up the legs for Saturday... My Glute muscle is still really sore but it did loosen up after a few miles but the slow turnover continues. I just need to finish the race and get my medal for the year to keep the streak going. My average pace was slow at 9:31 with a total time of 40:00 even.

See you Tomorrow.

Nebo Half this morning with Bigfoot. I felt pretty good through about 10 Miles and then the last 5K was pretty rough. But I fought through the little nagging injuries that I have been dealing with over the summer and Gutted it out. My Official time was 1:48:52, 10 minutes slower than my PR last year but thats to be expected.

See you Monday.
