Morning run today and I ran out to Payson Park and back via Canal road, didn't feel real great this morning but I got her done. Last mile or two felt like the classic death march, average pace was slow at 8:53 with a total time of 1:03:44. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then finished up with some push-ups. Abby did such a great job on her farewell talk for her mission yesterday, I am so proud of her! It will be hard to send her off on Wednesday, its so much tougher sending a girl than it is a guy, I guess its tough either way you look at it.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past Mini GU and then back to the house via canal road, I don't know what the deal was today but I felt really good, a total turn around from yesterday. I just keep the pace upbeat and enjoyed the run, the weather was perfect couldn't ask for a better morning. My average pace was 8:16 with a total time of 50:20, after the run I did a couple sets of one legged leg squats. Great run! Abby leaves for her mission in the morning, we have to be at the airport at 4-am so it should be a morning full of tears.

See ya tomorrow.

We had to have Abby up at the airport at 4am so she could catch her flight to the Mexico MTC, so I really never went to sleep... I thought it wouldn't bother me to much sending her off on her mission but I just lost it!!! I have been a blubbering mess all day and I almost can't even function, I am so proud of her andI I know she will make a great missionary but it is so hard sending her off for some reason, but I know it whats she been wanting to do so go get em Sweet pea!!!

See ya tomorrow.

I got home later after work so I just ran over to the Base of Harry's Hill and then ran the pretty little hill loop and then back to the house, I felt really good again today, kinda like Tuesdays run just really fluid. I had one mile that was sub 7:50 so I counted that as a MP mile, my average pace was 8:14 with a total time of 43:25. I didn't get out yesterday because of difficulty of the day, but I am feeling much better now, if you want to know then read my post yesterday. The plan is to run tomorrow morning and I am going to work hard to do it.

See ya tomorrow

I got off work a little early and I decide to run, it was a beautiful day and so nice I just couldn't pass it up! I ran the Payson Park Loop and extended down to the park, I felt okay but not as good as yesterday and the day before that but today was just about getting some mileage in and not worrying about the pace so much... My average pace was 8:35 with a total time of 1:01:34, after the run I did my upper body weight training and then finished up with some push-ups. I was a little lazy this morning and slept in, I've been having that problem as of late and I really need to try and fix that!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Gu Corner and then back to the house via canal road, I didn't feel real great going out but I felt better on the way back in, I'm still fighting my abdominal pain but its tolerable. The pain that I'm feeling from that it's on the right side below the navel, if that's not to graphic, I've been dealing with it for about 4 months now. I feel like I had a good week of training, at least for me anyway, and I would like to keep it going now. My average pace was 8:41 with a total time of 1:10:08, I was a little slower this morning but still okay considering I had a late run yesterday afternoon. I had a nice sausage and egg breakfast after the run for my reward for a steady week of training and it hit the spot!

See ya Monday
