It was a pretty rough day of running. But I only have myself to blame because I let myself get out of shape and I paid the price for being lazy... I need to get back into running and I need to quit making excuses. I don't know when that will be but I hope that it is soon. I am signed up for the Snow Canyon Half the first of November so I will need to keep running for that but I'm still trying to heal up from the Marathon so it might be saturday before I can actually start running again. But we will see how fast I recover.

I ran out to Mini Gu this afternoon and the old legs really had some spunk in them so I let them go so to speak, at least for me any way. My average pace was 8:25 with a total time of 50:22. I had some really faster miles in there and I accidentally forgot to turn my watch off on mile 4 so that screwed up my average but that mile split still would have been ion the 8:15 range, so a good run today. I finished up with some upper body weight training and some push-ups.

I ran out towards Payson this morning via canal road, I didn't feel as spunky as Wednesday but I still felt okay. My average pace was 8:45 with a total time of 41:11, I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push-ups. I will run a little tomorrow too, probably in the 6 to 8 mile range. My achilles is till a little tight until about a mile and then its fine, I will need to keep an eye on that.

See ya tomorrow.

My goal today was just to run for just over 40 minutes but not exceeding 45 minutes and I was able to split the difference. I ran out towards Payson via canal road and then back to the house, my average pace was slower than yesterday at 8:53 with a total time of 42:21. My legs were a little tired from yesterday as I worked them plenty hard on the Bowflex after my run but they loosened up towards the end of the run which was good.

See ya tomorrow.
