I ran the Payson Park Loop and I extended all the way to the park, I was feeling pretty darn good this morning so on the way back I ran 3 miles that were sub 8 minute miles. the first one was half uphill and half downhill (7:49) the second one was mostly uphill and then a little downhill right at the end of the mile (7:55) and then the last one was all flat and that was my best one at (7:42). My average pace for the run was 8:11 with a total time of 58:54, the quicker miles felt really good they didn't feel like I was over doing it so I feel like I am on the right track. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then finished with some pus-ups, I went lite on the sets, just one set of each as I have a pro-am golf tournament this afternoon and I didn't want to be to trashed.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini GU via canal road, pace was way slow because my legs were pretty tired from the run yesterday. My average pace was 8:55 and my total time was 54:13 after the run I did my lower body weight training, just the usual. I got my entry in to the St. George Marathon, so let the PAIN begin!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Old Blue mailbox route this morning, I run out towards Payson for a couple of miles to an old Blue mailbox and then I run back to the house and then out past the stake center all via canal road, its pretty flat and I can keep it pretty easy. My average pace was just steady at 8:35 with a total time of 1:05:10, after the run I did my upper body workout on the Bowflex and then finished up with some push-ups. My legs were feeling pretty good at first but then in the middle they were getting pretty tired but then they finished up a little better.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran Harry's Hill, then up to the mailboxes and then to Mount Loafer School and then home all via canal road. It was not my best run on this route in fact it was probably the worst run I have had on this course in a while, my legs just gave up on me and I felt like I hit the wall! Then I realized that I didn't eat very much yesterday, I skipped lunch and didn't eat a whole lot for dinner so I'm thinking that is why. Note to self, eat freaking lunch and dinner!!! My average pace was slow at 9:00 with a total time of 1:04:26, I am usually in the 8:10 to 8:15 average on this route... Oh well at least I was able to get some hills in, after the run I finished up with my lower body weight training, just the usual.

See ya tomorrow.

Nothing today... Fridays are usually lite days and sometimes no run days so I took a no run day mainly because my legs are just thrashed for some reason and I wanted to have a decent Longer run tomorrow, so hence the day off.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran with Jeff long out to Mini GU and then back to the house, I got a drink at the house and then ran out to the old barn on canal road and then back to the house, I then hooked up with my brother and ran a few with him and then back to the house. The legs seemed a little better this morning so it was a pretty good run for the most part, perfect temps for sure. My average pace was 8:36 with a total time of 1:44:41. I think next week I will cut back just a little bit but not a whole bunch just enough to not over do it, I just want to stay healthy through the whole training cycle to St George.

See ya Monday
