I was able to get out a little later this morning as I don't have to go into the office today so I headed out just after 8:30. As I was walking out to the street I wasn't watching and hit some ice and went right down to the ground, I felt like an idiot and I am thankful that no one saw me, at least I hope no one so me! I felt pretty good today I got a little tired towards the end but not to bad... I headed out past mini GU corner and through the bermuda triangle with no watch issues and the back to the house all via canal road. My average pace 8:22 with my average HR rate at 146, total time was 59:55, after the run I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. I will get a run in tomorrow morning before I head out to Lincoln Nebraska, I will be out there for a few days getting some training with some new insurance companies. My dad and I are going independent so we are bringing in some other insurance companies, kind of scary!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Payson Park loop this morning via canal road, I felt good going out but then on the way back it felt like a death march! I decided to do some strides on the way in and I pushed it as hard as my legs would let me, 5 strides in all. I had two MP miles during this part, 7:44 and 7:40. my average pace for the run was 8:14 with the total time at 58:55 HR average was at 148. After I ran the strides my legs felt better so maybe they just needed a kick in the butt! After the run I did my standard lower body weight training. I'm off to the airport now to fly to Nebraska, should be and adventure!

Later.

I was able to find a little river trail here in Nebraska so I just ran 3 miles one way and then back to the hotel, the pace was a little brisker than I wanted it to be but I just went with it. I had one sub 8 minute mile so I'm counting that as MP and then the rest were sub 8:20, my average pace was 8:16 with my total  time at 52:15 I forgot my HR monitor so I have nothing on that. Now I can say that I have ran in Nebraska, it was a beautiful day but they its suppose to get bad late tomorrow but I'll be in the air and on my way home so I hope its not to bumpy. I don't no if I will have time to run tomorrow, busy morning and then I'll be traveling all day.

See ya tomorrow

Afternoon run today and I headed out towards the Payson park but I stopped short of the hills as my legs were just out of it today. They felt a little better on the way back and I ran a little progression run without even knowing it, 3 miles and they went like this, 8:11, 8:03, 7:43. My average pace for the run was 8:20 with my HR average at 153, total time was 52:09, no strength raining today as I am running out of time. Hopefully tomorrow the weather will hold so I can get a longer run in !

Later .

This has to be the worst run of my life! My legs were dead from the get go and they just hurt like crazy! I don't know if it was the older shoes or not but I just wanted to quit! My average pace was 8:57 with my HR average at 144 total time was 37:12! I feel like I do when I shoot a bad round of golf, I feel like a loser.

See you Monday.
