I ran towards Payson Park but cut out the rollers via canal road, I felt a little sluggish at first but then the last 3 miles were a lot better and I was able to get into a pretty good flow. My average pace was 8:39 with a total time of 53:50, I finished up with some upper body weight training.  I feel like I'm on the verge of breaking through this wall that has been holding me back, I just need to keep pushing.

See Ya tomorrow.

A nice morning run out to Harry's Hill and then over to Woodland Hills drive back down to Canal road and then home, I felt pretty decent running up Harry's Hill and then pretty good on the downhill portion as well. I had 2 MP miles during the run, both on the downhill, 7:59, 7:30 and my average pace was 8:39 with a total time of 55:15, I am pretty happy with this whole run, not my fastest on this route but very respectable. I seem to be trending in the right direction.

See Ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini Gu and then back to the house all via canal road, I felt pretty decent considering the harder work out yesterday and I really tried to stay with the pace and keep it respectable. My average pace was 8:46 with a total time of 53:43, my last mile was sub 8:20 so that was pretty nice for a training pace and my legs were at there most tired then too so not bad.

See ya tomorrow.

Nice easy run this morning as Fridays are usually a liter day for me. I ran past the old barn on canal road and then back the same way, my average pace was 8:36 with a total time of 28:22. I finished up with some upper body weight training to finish out the workout, I will go for 10 plus miles tomorrow. Its been a pretty good week so far.

See ya tomorrow.

I did my usual run down into the river bottoms and then back to the house via canal road, it was a little nippy this morning which made for great temperature to run in. I felt okay at times and then not so great at times but all in all it was a good run, my average pace was 8:49 with a total time of 1:29:06. Its been a great week for me. I haven't run over 30 miles in a week in a long time so that is a good thing. I just need to let it continue to snowball and continue to get after it. I ran into my Brother Curtis on my way back, it was good to catch up with him even if it was just for minute.

See ya tomorrow.
