I started my run out towards Payson but after about 2 miles I realized that I was having stomach issues so I turned for home and just barly made it, after taking care of business I headed out past the Stake Center and to the T in the road and then back to the house to finish up. I felt better in the second half of the run than I did in the first half, but that seems to be the trend as of late. My average pace for the run was 8:33 with a total time of 1:01:16, after the run I finished up with some lite upper body weight training and then some push-ups, I also did some sit-ups on the big blue rubberball. It has been a good start to the week.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini GU and then back to the house via canal road, I averaged just under a 9 minute mile on the way out and then on the way back I picked it up a little bit and the last few miles I did some strides, last mile was MP at 7:54. My average pace was 8:36 with a total time of 52:13, after the run I did some one legged squats, two sets of 15 on both legs.

See ya tomorrow.

So I planted over 1100 flowers in my yard yesterday and I can't even move, it feels like I have done 1100 squats! It feels like I ran 2 marathons back to back. I'm just getting to old to do that every year and I always have the same result, stiff and Sore!

 

See y tomorrow.

So I have been trying everything I can to loosen up these legs but nothing seems to help... I have rolled them, I have tried the elliptical and messaging them as well to no avail. I am wondering if there are other issues in play here or I'm I really as old as I feel,  I can't believe that this all from planting a bunch of damn flowers.. It happens to me every year but usually by now I am feel good and back to running, so i don't know what to think! I planted 1,331 flowers which is about what I did last year, so it is hard to beleive that it would be any different.. I will try running tomorrow and see how it goes but if they don't loosen up then I will be done until Monday, it's been a tough week and 'Im a little ticked because I started it off so good!
