No running today. I held out hope that I would be able to get her done but it didn't happen... My thighs are really sore from the race on Saturday so its probably good that I took an extra day off, I know I'm a wimp, but I just don't want to chance an injury. The plan is to run some tomorrow and then gradually increase each day. I can't believe that a little old 10K can make me so sore, I know it was downhill for a lot of it and I pushed the pace pretty good but come on! Oh, well at least I'm in the SGM for another year with out going through the lottery so that is a good thing, I think:)

See ya tomorrow.

My legs were feeling a little better so I headed out after work, I ran out to Mini GU and then back to the house via canal road. I kept the pace easy and just enjoyed the run, I was only going to go a few but I was feeling pretty good so I went a little farther. My average pace was 8:42 with a total time of 53:01 I didn't wear my HR monitor today so no info on that. I don't know how much I will be able to run the next few days as I my have Jury duty if they choose me tomorrow, should be interesting:)

See ya tomorrow.

No running today. I didn't get picked for Jury duty but by the time I made it back to the office I was so far behind that I had no time to run today. I thought about going after I got home but I have had to much going on so it just didn't happen today but for sure tomorrow. I just looked at the official results and I actually took 5th in my age at the Spectrum  10K instead of 6th on Saturday so that was pretty cool.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Payson Park Loop this morning, the legs felt okay, still a little tired, but it was a good tired. I was feeling it towards the end of the run, but not to bad. My average pace was easy at 8:42 with a total time of 1:02:34, my HR average was 147. After the run I did some light leg lifts and then some push-ups. It was a beautiful morning and a great start to the day!

See ya tomorrow.

The plan today was to run out to Gu Corner and then back to the house but I ran into my brother and we were going to try and hook up along canal road, he was going up over Harry's Hill and I am not ready for that yet. After 10 miles I thought I would run into him along canal road by the house so I spent the next four miles trying to find him but I never did... Weird! Oh well, sorry bro! I really felt good the last 4 miles they were at a quick pace, at least for me, and I seemed like I could have gone more so it ended up being a pretty good day. My average pace 8:20 with my total time at 1:57:37, my HR average was 148 so a real solid run.  Now it's off to work in the yard! Fun!

See ya Monday.
