This will be a little bit of a cut back week for me as far as mileage is concerned, I've had 3 really good weeks in a row so I want to make sure I don't over do so I will ease back a little on the mileage this week. I ran out past the old barn on canal road and towards Payson and then back to the house, average pace was 8:49 with a total time of 37:30 I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push ups. It was a beautiful day today, shorts and short sleeves on the 26th of January, pretty darn nice.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past the stake center and towards Mini Gu, since this is a cut back week I stopped a mile short. I felt pretty good and the pace was up beat, my average pace was 8:22 with a total time of 35:58. I had a couple of sub 8:15 mile paces in the middle, 8:12, 8:09. It was another beautiful day and I am surely spoiled but I'm not going to complain.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past the old barn on canal road and then down Elk Ridge road and then I turned after hitting my mile two which was the bottom of the hill and then I turned and headed back the same way, a nice little mixture of flat and downhill and uphill. My average pace was 8:27 with a total time of 33:46, I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push-ups.  It was a very fun workout.

See ya tomorrow.

I didn't get home from work until after 5 but I headed out towards Mini Gu corner but stopped at the horse arena which is just short of a mile from Mini Gu. I was having problems with my watch so I reset it and headed back to the house. I had two miles that were in the MP range, 7:55, 8:00, my average pace for the run was 8:15 with a total time of 36:30. I felt pretty darn good again and I'm glad I was able to get out. It's amazing to me how when I have a bad day at work if I push myself out the door for a run it seems to make everything right. It doesn't solve the problem but it makes everything right at home, and that's what counts! That's why I love this sport and how when I have been injured in the past how tough it is to handle day to day problems with out it. I am so glad that I have the opportunity to run, I shall never take it for granted again.

See ya tomorrow.

I have had another great week of training even though it was a cut back on mileage I had some really good runs, next week back to the regualr mileage. My average pace was 8:24 with a total time of 51:07, now its off to State Cheer Championship, my wifes team won it all last year so we will see how it goes.
