Afternoon run today as I was not to hip on getting out this morning for the same old lazy reason,  But it was beautiful out today and the sun was bright and good. I headed out towards Payson for 2 miles and then back to the house and then out past the stake center and then I stopped at woodland hills road and then I headed back to the house for a total of 6.52 miles. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for another 20 minutes at a moderate to hard pace, I finished up with the standard upper body weight training and some push-ups. My average pace for the run was 8:27 with a total time of 55:09, HR average was 150...  I was trying to focus on my upper body form and I was also trying to be lighter on my feet and not pound the pavement so hard with each step and for the most part I think I accomplished that. I hope to be able to get up in the morning and get my run done for tomorrow, my day just seems to go better when I am able to do that.

See ya then.

Way to go at getting out today Clay, I know you can get out in the morning. It's all about attitude, you can do it. Just tell yourself before you go to bed tonight that you will get out early, I promise it will happen. Keep at it and before you know it your out the door.
