I ran the Pretty Little Hill route after work, I felt okay and had some pretty good rhythm after I was able to warm up just a bit. It was a beautiful afternoon, my average pace was 8:44 with a total time of 46:00 minutes. I had some decent splits on the second half of the run, at least for my out of shape body that is. I finished with some upper body weight training. Its a good start to the week.

See Ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini Gu Corner via canal road after work, It was dang hot! Crazy for the middle of March but we live in Utah so want do you expect. I felt pretty darn good today and it seems I am trending in the right direction, but I still have a lot of work to do and I need to find a way to not make excuses on some days. Like Tuesday and Wednesday of this week I just kind of checked out , and I let the lazy crap take over. My average pace was 8:33 with a total time of 51:58, Thats right where I want to be for my training pace so that was a pleasant surprise. I finished with some upper body weight training and some one legged squats.

See ya tomorrow.

I didn't do to well this morning, I sat in the hot tub last night and that is a mistake as my legs were just like to giant logs the whole run. But, I was able to Gut it out and not give up and I didn't bail out early, I just stayed with it regardless of the pace and they way I was feeling. I ran out past Gu Corner and then down into the river bottoms and then back to the house the same way, average pace was 9:15 with a total time of 1:33:20. I had some lazy days again this week where I made excuses and didn't get out but thats on me and I will need to keep working at it.

See you Monday.
