"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I ran after work again today and it was nice, shorts again, I ran out towards Payson and actually extended up the little hill into Payson, it felt good. I had no pain in my hip which was cool but I did have a niggle of pain in my left groin area, but it was tolerable. I did some strides  at the end of the run, 2 35 second strides and my watch said the pace was 6:40, it felt hard but I just tried to work on my form and I did okay. My average pace was 8:35 with my HR average at 146, total time was 44:16. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 10 minutes and then did the contenders course for 20 minutes and then finished up with some strength training and some push-up. I was able to try out my new Kayano 16's today and they felt great, its always cool when you get some new shoes.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran after work again and I was able to run in shorts, kind of crazy I know but it was cool;-) I ran out towards mini gu corner but stopped a 1/2 mile short and then headed back to the house, I kept having to slow the pace down as this was suppose to be a easy run so I tried real hard to do that. Average pace for the run was 9:00 and the HR was at 146, total time 45:40, I felt pretty good on the run but I am feeling it a little now that I'm writing this. Hip is a little sore;-) After the run I only had time for 15 minutes on the elliptical and I kept that pretty easy, no resistance, and then did some stretching...

See ya tomorrow.

Another after work run today, the weather was a little cooler so I finally had to wear tights for a change. I ran the Loafer Canyon Rd for some uphill training and then some downhill training on the way back. I took it easy on the down hill but had some sub 7:30 pace stretches and then some slower pace efforts as not to over do it... Average pace for the run was 8:38, total time was 35:02, after returning home I jumped on the elliptical and did my standard 10 minutes warm-up and then did the contenders course and then I did some stretching and some strength training and push-ups to finish up. A pretty good day as far as working out goes, I'm pretty happy with the effort.

See ya tomorrow.

After work run and it was nice again;-) I just kept it nice and easy, average pace was 8:40 and total time was 44:06. I think my HR average was around 146, my legs felt really tired towards the end,  I think they were tired from the hard workout yesterday. After I finished the run I did 15 minutes on the elliptical at a moderate pace and thats about it for today. I ran into Pat and Kent and some other guy at the stake center they were just heading out, they are very good runners. I plan on some really easy miles tomorrow, I want to see if I can go a little longer running on Saturday but that all depends on how I'm feeling.

See ya tomorrow.

I didn't get out today. It wasn't really laziness just work and then no time after work, see you tomorrow.

I had to wait and run later in the day today as My son Ethan had a 7 am basketball game with deacons and then my daughter had a basketball game and then Ethan has another game at 2pm so I squeezed my run in between the two. My goal was to run 7 miles and then 30 minutes hard on the elliptical, I ran out to mini GU corner and back to the house and then I ran another mile close to the house. I felt really good except the last mile the top of my foot started to hurt real bad, almost like it had a cramp or something, it didn't hurt while doing the elliptical so that was good. I'll have to watch it and see if it flairs up again, I don't want anymore set backs. Average pace for the run was 8:38 with my HR average at 151, a little higher than I would like for that pace but I'll take it, total time was 1:00:33... I did the Contenders course on the elliptical with a 10 minute warm up, I finished the day with some stretching and some push-ups, I feel really good about today;-)

See ya on Monday.
