I ran out to mini GU and then back to the house all via canal road, after returning back to the house I tacked on another mile just for fun. It was a beautiful day today and my legs just kept wanting to go but I tried to reel them in, my average pace was 8:20 with my total time at 59:02 ans my HR average was at 148. My first 3 miles were all sub 8:15 average so I really tried to slow down on the way back, I felt pretty good for a change and I am feeling like a runner again. Knock on wood! After the run I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups, a great day!

See ya Tomorrow.

I ran some hills today but the plan was to take everything easy and I think I accomplished that. I  ran up past Mt Loafer school and then up to the mailboxes and then over to Harry's Hill and then down to canal and then home. My average pace was 8:55 with my total time at 1:03:25 HR average was at 144. I took it really slow up and then down, I was fighting a head wind on the way up and it was brutal and then when I went to change directions it switched and was in my face again! Stupid wind. I was glad I stuck with it though, I was trying to talk my self out of the run most of the first couple of miles, but I got her done.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Min Gu and then back to the house, pace was nice and easy as my legs were pretty tired! Average pace was 8:49 with my total time at 53:47, HR average was 142. I felt pretty crummy on the way out but by the time I hit my turn around the legs had loosened up and were tolerable. After the run I did a light upper body workout and some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Payson Park loop and added the rollers in down into the park. It was pretty much a death march this morning, and I think it had a lot to do with the late run yesterday afternoon, my legs were pretty tired yesterday so I knew today was going to be no picnic!  My average pace was real slow at 8:58 and my total time was 1:04:24 and my HR average was at 135. I couldn't run after work today so I knew I had to do a morning run today or not run at all, but I'm glad I got her done!

See ya tomorrow.

The plan today was to do a real light run of 3 miles and keep the pace real easy. I ran out past the old barn and then back to the house via canal road, my average pace was 8:48 with my total time at 27:26 HR average was at 138. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then some  push-ups.  My legs are still in the tired syndrome and I am hoping with the liter day that they will be ready to go tomorrow, I'm not going to do any real long long runs this month but next month I'll start to kick them up a bit in preparation for the Utah Valley Marathon, maybe 12 to 13 miles tomorrow...

See ya tomorrow.

Ran out to the river bottoms and then back to the house via canal road, pace was steady but not over baring and everything felt pretty good. I ran into my Brother and we talked for a bit and then on the way back I ran into Jeff long so we ran together back to the house and the conversation was great! My average pace was 8:32 and my total time was 1:26:20 with my HR average at 144, I purchased a new Garmin HR monitor and it is way less bulky, I didn't even know it was there. I thought about going more but I was feeling real good and I wanted to end feeling that way so I did, I have the Spectrum 10K next Saturday so I will cut back a little bit but the first part of the week will be as normal and then taper just a little towards the end

See ya Monday
