My legs finally felt like running this morning, so I ran the Payson Park Loop and extended down to the Park. My pace was steady but by the end of the run I was feeling a little tired, but it was a great run and I'm so happy that my legs are feeling better. My average pace was 8:29 with a total time of 1:00:50, after the run I did my upper body weight training, I just kept it lite with one set of each exercise, finished up with some push-ups. I was able to talk to Abby over Skype yesterday, it was so good to see her. She is an awesome missionary and is doing a great job, I am so, so proud of her.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past Mini GU and then back to the house, still a little nippy this morning I had to wear a Beanie and gloves, it is suppose to warm up this week so that will be nice. Pace was a little slower than normal but not much, my average was 8:40 with a total time of 52:33, after the run I did a little lower legs strength training. The run felt okay except for the last half mile I was really tired in the legs, but its all good... Another great start to another day...

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Payson and back this morning, I didn't feel real great but I was able to get her done... My average pace was 8:38 with a total time of 53:44, after the run I did some lite upper body weight training and then some push-ups. My legs were pretty dead the second half of the run which is a change as of late, usually its been the other way around.

See ya tomorrow.

I took the day off today so I did a mid morning run and I ran over to the base of Harry's Hill then I ran up that beast, over to woodland hills Drive then down to Canal road and then back home. Its a good mix of uphill and downhill and I felt pretty good going up harry's hill in my legs but the lungs would not cooperate... The downhill felt pretty good but I could feel it pretty bad towards the end of that section, but all in all it was a good run and I'm glad I got her done for the day. It was starting to get hot by the time I was done so its going to be morning runs for most of the time now. Average pace was 8:23 with a total time of 53:33

 

See ya tomorrow.

I was up at 6am and then out the door at 6:20 or so, I ran out past Mini GU and then up to GU and then back to the house, I decided to add a few more so I ran out to the old barn on canal road for the extra few miles. My pace I had to recalculate a little as I stopped at the Stake Center and I forgot to stop it, so I think I'm pretty close. My average pace was 8:36 with a total time of 1:27:00, I felt pretty bad through the first half of the run but then I started to loosen up and the second half was a lot better... I had a VPB at about mile 6 so that was real special, luckly I was prepared. I have had a great week of training, at least for me anyway, and I hope it is a spring board to better things to come.

See ya Monday
