"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

Another after work run today and the weather was simply beautiful! I headed out towards Payson and extended up the hill and my legs were feeling it for most of the run, they were still tired from Saturday's run I'm sure so I took it really easy. My average pace was 9:03 with my HR average at 146 total time 46:23, after the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes but no resistance today as my legs are hammered! I finished up with some strength training on my upper body, 30 minutes, and then some push-ups. I hope my legs feel better tomorrow, they were pretty worn out today.

See ya tomorrow.

I was able to get my lazy butt out of bed this morning and get out the door and I forgot how cold it is in the morning, but it felt good. I ran out to Pretty little hill and did that little loop and then headed back to the house, my average pace was 9:23, I'm not sure what the total time was, I'm at work and I don't have all the information with me so That's the best I can do. My legs were very very tired and I had a little niggle of discomfort in my upper hip but when I would stop and stretch it would help so I'm not to worried. I also did 20 minutes on the elliptical at a moderate pace and then some stretching. My legs are really feeling it and they just haven't recovered from Saturday, I'm hoping that they will soon. I will keep things nice and easy for the rest of the week, no hill work or speed work either.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran after work again today and man do you get spoiled with the great weather and the warmth, simply amazing! I ran out to Payson and exteded up the little hill and then I turned for home. when I started out my legs were feeling a little tired but after a mile I started to get in a pretty good rytnum and continued that until the finish. My average pace was 8:37 with my HR average at 148, Total time was 44:29 my legs seemed to have all the stiffness gone and they felt pretty good really... After the run I did 20 minutes on the elliptical at a moderate to hard pace average was between 90 and 95 RPM, it felt pretty darn good;-) After that I finished up with some strentgh training on the upper body and then some push-ups.

I'm really happy with the today, I feel like I am on the right track for a change and I am getting excited again about running.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out towards Mini GU Corner but in the words of Frank Castanza, "I stopped Short". As good as I felt yesterday is as bad as I feel this morning, My legs just gave out on me and it was all I could do just to get back to the house. The only explanation I can give is the short turn around for recovery from yesterday afternoon to this morning, they were totally dead! It was slow moving throughout the run, average pace was 9:22 with my HR average at 138, total time was 47:23. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for the standard 20 minutes with no resistancce, it was sure determination that got me through todays run because I just didn't have it and I hope tomorrow I feel a little better;-)

See ya tomorrow.

Rest...

I ran out to Gu corner in the late morning, my daughter had an early basketball game so I had to wait until after that to head out, my goal was just to keep a pretty even pace throughout the run  and I felt pretty good about it. My average pace for the first 7 miles was just under 8:30 and then I picked it up the last 3 miles and averaged around a 8:10 mile, I felt pretty good the whole way except for the last mile I started to feel it alittle bit then but not bad. Average pace for the run was 8:23 with my HR average at 150, total time was 1:24:52. After the run I did my standard 20 minutes on the elliptical with no resistance, just kept a nice easy pace. I really had a hard time getting out the door today but I was able to kick myself in the butt and get it done! Now its off to my son Ethan's basketball game, it never ends does it...:-)

See ya Monday.
