"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I ran after work today and ran up to the mailboxes via Mt. loafer school and then I ran down Woodland Hills Drive to Canal road and then back to the house. On the downhill I had one MP mile at 7:40, felt pretty easy, and then my average pace for the run was 8:42 with a total time of 53:53. My legs felt pretty good on the uphill and then okay on the downhill, that was the first hill run since the SGM,  I felt pretty good so that is a good thing. I entered the SG Half Marathon in January, so its time to do a little training between now and then.

See ya tomorrow.

No running. resting.

Ethan had a cross country meet in AF this morning so I bagged the run. I have 2 small nagging injuries that I have had since before the marathon that I just can't get rid of so I am going to just try and just maintain for a while and see if I can get them healed up. I love watching my son Ethan run, he is such a good kid and works so hard at everything he does.

See ya Monday.

I ran the Payson Park loop this morning and I extended all the way to the Park, pace was pretty slow and I just tried to keep things easy and enjoy the beautiful morning. My average pace was 8:47 with a total time of 1:03:01, after the run I did some strength training on my lower body: squats, one legged squats and leg raises. It was a good start to the week now I just need to keep it going.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to mini GU via canal road and the pace was rather slow as my legs were pretty worn out from the strength training yesterday after my run but I was able to stick with it and get her done. My average pace 9:09 with a total time of 55:35, the run seemed like it took for ever. 

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Payson Park Loop this morning and ran all the way to the park, I felt pertty good this morning so that was a pleasnt surprise! My average pace was 8:30 with a total time of 1:00:56. I 'm really disappointed in the election last night, I hopr those idots back east know what thier doing! NOT!

Later.

I ran out to Mini Gu and back, all via canal road. I felt pretty good on the way out but then after mile 4 it was a major death march the rest of the way, it was brutal! I don't know what that was about but maybe the old were just tired. My average pace was slow at 8:58 with a total time of 54:32, I'm glad I was able to get her done.

See ya tomorrow.

Did not like the rain this morning and my legs were still fried from yesterday's run so I decided to take today off.

Way to snowy for me!

The weather latley has really done a number on my motivation! We got dumped on with snow over the weekend to the tune of 12 inches and it was super cold this morning so I bagged it! My motivation has flown south for the winter!!!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini Gu and then back to the house via canal road, it was cold but not to bad. Pace seemed okay, I was to cold to look at my watch so I just tired to stay warm. Average pace was 8:34 with a total time of 52:05, I'm having a hard time staying motivated this winter. I'm glad I was able to get out this morning, my day seems to go better when I do.

See yo tomorrow.

I have really struggled again this week with motivation, I'm just having a hard time getting out the door! I really need to re-dedicate myself and get back on track! I really don't know what it is but I need to pull my head out and get going again!

I ran the Payson Park Loop this morning but I didn't extend down into the park, I haven't ran in over a week so I decided to cut out the rollers. My legs felt okay but after 3 or 4 miles they started to feel it pretty good, but where I haven't run for over a week I think that is to be expected. My average pace was 8:36 with a total time of 53:31, I had a negative split on the way back. After the run I did some light upper body weight training, I Have  decided I need to get back to doing the weight lifting,  it has been good start to the week for a change.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran mid afternoon today and it was such a beautiful day I had to get out and run, I ran out to Mini GU and then back to the house all via canal road.  After getting back o the house I tacked on another mile, my average pace was 8:31 with a total time 59:59, did some stretching afterword. Now its off to Ethan's Cross Country Banquet, should be a great time!

See ya tomorow.

I was busy with work and family today so no time to run.

See ya tomorrow.

Slept in a little bit this morning but I was able to get out the door by 8am, I ran out to Mini Gu and then back to the house all via canal road my legs felt heavy and tired but I got her done! Average pace was 8:37 with a total time of 52:20. Its just me and my wife today for thanksgiving so we are eating light and then heading to a movie, should be a great time! My Christmas display is already to go and I gave her a dry run last night, everything looked pretty good! I need to find a way to pipe in some music, then it would be a true winter wonderland! I purchased a few new things this year, its been a lot of work but it looks pretty darn good, the kids in our hood love it.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

See ya tomorrow.

I wasn't really feeling like running this morning but I knew that I had to be strong and get after it. I dropped Ethan off at cross country and then decided to head out. I ran out to Mini GU again via canal road, after a few miles my legs seemed to get into a pretty good rhythm and I had a sub 8 minute mile in the middle of the run. My average pace was 8:23 with a total time of 51:06, I'm glad that I was able to get out this morning. My goal for tomorrow is 10 plus miles, I hope my legs will let me do it.

Later. 

I just lost my whole entry! I ran out past GU and then down into the river bottoms and then back to the house, I keep the pace steady but not to hard. Average pace was 8:28 with a total time of 1:25:27 the plan was at least for 10 miles and maybe more if my legs could handle it but they got a little wobbly towards the end so I stopped at just past 10 miles. I will continue to add a couple miles to my long runs each Saturday up until the SG Half in January, that should get me into pretty good shape for the race.

See ya Monday

I ran the Payson Park Loop this morning and I extended down into the park today, I had to wear tights this morning for the first time, it was a little nippy. I felt okay on the way out but then I started to have stomach issues on the way back but I was able to make it home okay without any VPB's. My average pace 8:38 with a total time of 1:01:65, I finished up with some light upper body weight training and then some push-up's, it was a good start to the week.

See ya tomorrow.

No time today.

Later

Afternoon run today out to Mini Gu and then back to the house all via canal road, my legs felt tired at first but seemed to do better as the run went on. I took a couple of breaks here and there just to enjoy the sunshine, average pace was 8:21 with a total time of 50:55. I have been having a tough day today and I could sure feel the stress using up all my energy, after calming down I was able to relax a little and enjoy the run more. The mind can be a powerful thing! My son Ethan leaves for the Footlocker 5K down in California tomorrow, I hope he has a great time and runs a great race! Good luck son!

See ya tomorrow.

A rough couple of days. I'll be back at it tomorrow.

Later.
