I ran the Payson Park loop this morning but my legs were just dead from the get go and I was dealing with an upset stomach again and then by the time I finished I was having bowel issues as well so it was kind of a tough run, my legs had no zip to them at all... My Pace was pretty slow at an average of 8:47 with a total time of 1:02:48, the last two miles were like a freaking death march, but I am proud of myself for getting up and getting her done. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then finished up with some push-ups and some crunches on the big rubber ball. Even though it was a stinker of a run I am still glad that I got out.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini Gu and then back to the house via canal road this morning, I felt a lot better than yesterday and on the way back I did some pick-ups towards the end of each mile. I tried to speed up on each one and the last one I was doing sub 7 minute mile, so it was more of a sprint than a stride I guess... My average pace was 8:13 with a total time of 50:00, after the run I did my lower body weight training, it was a good day and I felt pretty darn good. That's a lot of goods;)

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out towards Payson Park again this morning but I didn't extend down into the park, my legs were pretty tired from yesterdays harder workout so I just took it easy but then on the way back I was able to get in a pretty good rhythm and all my miles from there on out were all sub 8:30 with 3 of them being sub 8:20. I was feeling pretty good so when I got back to the house I tacked on one more mile out to the stake center and then back to the house all via canal road. My average pace was 8:37 with a total time of 1:03:32, I finished up with my upper body weight training and then some push-ups and I also did some crunches on the big rubber ball. I am happy with the effort today.

See ya tomorrow.

So yesterday I planted over 1300 flowers in my yard and every year when I do it afterwards its feels like I ran a marathon, just really stiff,  so I was a little scared of how they would be feeling this morning... My legs were really stiff last night but I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I headed out that they were not that bad, so I ran out to Mini Gu via canal road and then back to the house. The pace was slower than normal but I can live with that, average pace 8:44 with a total time of 53:08. I finished up with some lower body weight training,  just the usual; squats leg raises and leg presses and also some calf raises. Light day tomorrow.

See ya tomorrow.

It is lite day Friday so I usually take it pretty easy and my goal is to usually run 3 to 4 miles depending on how I'm feeling and such. I ran out towards Payson via canal road, pace was way easy at 8:41 with a total time of 35:16, after the run I did some lite upper body weight training and then some push-ups. My legs were still pretty sore from Wednesday, mainly on the inside of my thighs, just really stiff and sore, hopefully tomorrow they will be feeling better.

See ya tomorrow.

I had a pretty tough morning today the legs were pretty wore out and I had some stomach issues, I had two separate VPB's and it was not pleasant! I ran out past Gu and down into the river bottoms and then back to the house via canal road, pace was pretty steady at 8:31 with a total time of 1:26:05... I was able to run into a few running buddies today and chatted for a bit had a good chat with my Brother Curtis and it s was good to get out even though I was having the stomach issues. It has been another pretty good training week and I hope I can keep it going, I plan on increasing my Saturday long runs in June but for now I want to keep the weekly miles at 40 to 45 miles a week.

See ya Monday.
