I ran the Payson Park loop this morning via canal road, I felt a little choppy on the way out but then I felt pretty smooth on the way back and even had a couple 8 minute miles in the middle. My average pace was 8:37 with a total time of 1:01:53, I finished up with some light upper body weight training and then some push-ups. I felt pretty good again today.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the big Blue Mailbox route today, basically I ran out towards Payson to this big blue mailbox and then I head back past the stake center via canal road so it keeps me on the flat and I can just take it easy. My average pace was upbeat steady at 8:22 with a total time of 55:32, I felt good for the most part but my mind kept wondering about certain things in life that I have no control over... Like High school sports and all the damn politics that go with it, I will be glad when my 2 juniors are graduated and I don't have to deal with idiot coaches.

See ya tomorrow.

Today was a tough one, I was tired from the get go and I just didn't have it mentally. I did fell better about half way up Harry's Hill and then coming down Woodland Hills Drive but when I hit the flat and then canal road and it was a death march that last mile or so. I had a couple of MP miles in the middle on the downhill, well not quite MP but close enough. (8:10) (8:12) My average pace was 8:52 with a total time of 56:29, so it was a good hill workout but other than that it was just down right brutal, but I guess there will be days like these. I just need to enjoy the journey, and I am.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out Past Mini Gu and then up to Gu Corner and then back to the house the same way all via canal road. After getting back to the house I tacked on a few more out past the old barn via canal road, I felt pretty good at times and then a little tired at times but I felt stronger at the end than at the start so thats a pretty good feeling.  My average pace was 8:28 with a total time of 1:25:41, mile 5 was a MP mile at 7:56 with a little downhill help, I didn't really push it at all so that was a good feeling as well. Its been another good week of training and I like the road I'm on.

See you Monday.
