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.

When I woke up this morning my left groin area was giving me some problems so I didn't run, after work I came home and jumped on the elliptical and warmed up for 10 minutes just to test it out and it felt okay.  I jumped on the treadmill to try it out and there was some pain but it seemed to get better as I ran but I had to keep the pace very, very, slow. After running a mile I went back to the elliptical and ran the contenders course with resistance up to 5 for 20 minutes and then I cooled down for another 10 minutes after that,  I then went back to the treadmill for another 2 miles at an easy pace. I ran 3 miles in 28:30 with 40 minutes on the elliptical, so I guess you can call that a brick going back and forth. My groin is still giving me problems as I'm writting this at 11:00 at night, so I don't know what to think about it... I know the elliptical doesn't seem to bother it which is good but running was another story, if I was able to keep the pace easy then it seemed to do okay so I might try that in the morning and then see how it goes. I will have to scale back on the distance too. I have had this alot and I don't know what the cause would be, maybe to much to fast or something like that. I do know!  One thing is for sure, I cannot take another year like I had last year where I was injuried all the time, it would just be to much and I think I would pack it in! So I hope this is just a little niggle and a blip but by the way that its feeling it seems to be a bad one, so I will have to take it day by day and then go from there. I don't know, maybe my body just isn't cut out for long distance running, I just can't seem to stay away from the injuries its very frustrating!

 

Goodnight.

After work run again... Ya I know, I'm lazy! I ran out to Mini GU corner and then back to the house via canal road, my average pace was 8:34 with my HR average at 147, total time was 51:30. My groin was actually tolerable with not much discomfort at all, I guess working on it hard last night had a positive effect so that is good news. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes with the pace moderate to hard, and it didn't bother me at all while doing that so I was pretty excited about that! I finished up with my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. I hope this darn thing cooperates and gets better and doesn't hold me back I am ready to get going again!

See ya tomorrow.

I was able to get out at around 8am this morning and it was cold but not to bad! I ran out to GU corner and points beyond and I was feeling pretty good for the most part. My plan today was to run at least 10 miles and then If I felt okay tack on a couple more around the house, which I did to total the 12 miles. Pace was pretty steady but not over baring, average pace was 8:27 with the total time at 1:42:24, HR average was 148. my groin was a little sore towards the end but my calf's were really feeling it for some reason, I don't know what that's all about but I'll have to keep an eye on it! After the run I did my lower body weight training and then some push-ups, no elliptical today as the run was a good enough workout! I saw a few runners out today, Michelle and Mack were still out but I didn't see my brother Curtis and I thought I would but I must have just missed him;(
