Another afternoon run today and it was such a beautiful day, just awesome!!! I ran the Payson park loop today and I really felt good, the way I felt on Saturday is a distant memory now because I felt great today so go figure... My pace was up beat but it didn't feel real hard, the last couple of miles I tried to slow it down just because I want to do some speed tomorrow and I didn't want to over do it, I'll have to see how I feel in the morning to decide. My average pace was 8:09 with my HR average at 152 total time was 58:47, I had one mile that was sub 8 minutes so I counted that as a MP mile, after the run I did my standard upper body weight training and some push-ups. It was great feeling today and I hope it continues through out the year, I feel I deserve an injury free year for a change.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini GU corner this morning and then back to the house, I felt pretty good but I tried to keep things easy today and not push it to hard. On the way back with just under a half a mile to go I started to have stomach issues and so during that whole ordeal I had to stop and walk just to get through it! I just barley made it home in time, if you know what I mean, I felt like Harry in Dumb & Dumber! Turbo Laxative baby!!! My average pace was 8:45 with my HR average at 143, total time was 52:42 so I think I accomplished the easy run today. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 15 minutes at a moderate pass and then I finished up with my lower body weight training, so all in all it was a good workout.

See ya tomorrow.

Afternoon run today and I ran up past Mount Loafer school and then up to the mailboxes and then over to the top of Harry's hill and then down that and then back to the house. After that My son Ethan and his friend Zac were out for a run so I ran until I ran into them and then finished with them. My average pace for the run was 8:14 and  I had 2 miles and some change as MP miles (7:27 downhill, 7:41 half down and half on level ground, .61 7:45). Total time for the run was 58:47 HR average was 152, when I finished with my son they were clipping along pretty good and I was able to stay with them okay but then they hit the downhill to the house and they left me in the dust,  I wish I was young but I guess its my job to be old... I kept the pace as easy as I could on the downhill portions today I was just holding back enough to not over do it, the up hill was moderate but easy at times too. It was a good hill workout and I'm glad that I was able to get it in.

 

See ya tomorrow.

Another afternoon run today and it started out sunny but then  I was caught in a monsoon rain storm and then towards the end it was sunny again. Average pace was 8:25 and the HR average was at 144 total time was 52:25 and that is a guess I had to restart after 2 miles as my watch didn't pick-up .25 of the first mile so I was all screwed up, so far the 310XT is giving me some problems not all the time but it seems as though there is a black hole or something sometimes. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 10 minutes and then I did my lower body weight training.

see ya tomorrow.

My son Ethan had an Early basketball game this morning so I didn't get out until after 9 am. I headed out towards Mini GU corner and then down to my 5 mile marker and then I turned and headed for home going back the same way that I came. Pace was steady and I had a couple of faster miles in the middle of the run so I'll count those as MP. My Average pace was 8:21 with my total time at 1:24:34, my HR average was 147 its been a pretty good week of training, but I wish I could have gone a little further today but I need to take it slow. I need to remind my self that I'm still coming back from all my injuries from last year and I need to build these longer runs at a slower rate. Just after Mini GU corner on the way back I ran into my brother Curtis and he was looking strong and in shape, we were able to catch up for a few minutes which is always good. No strength training today as I am short on time, our washer has gone out on us so we are looking for s new one, bummer!

See ya Monday.
