"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I ran the Payson Park loop, I just tried to keep the pace nice and steady it was raining a little bit and then by the time I got back to the house it was coming down pretty good but it was tolerable. My average pace was 8:23 with the total time being 1:00:04 I had a negative split on the way back and I wasn't really trying to, I was just trying to keep the pace steady and even and run by feel.  I didn't look at my watch at all the entire run. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 10 minutes at a moderate pace and then I finished up with some strength training on my upper body and then some push-ups.

I ran out to GU corner and then back to the house and the pace was moderate to easy and I felt pretty good for the most part, a little tired from lack of sleep but not to bad. The average pace was 8:22 with the total time being 59:24, after the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes with the pace being moderate with the last 10 minutes hard. I might do some hill trianing tomorrow or some speed work I haven't made up my mind yet, I will play it by ear.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran some hills today and I started out heading up past Mt. Loafer school and then up to the mailboxes and then over to harry's hill and then back to the house, its a 7 mile square with about .10 extra. I was slow moving up the hills and I was fighting some stomach issues the whole run, I just felt kind of yucky, when I got to the top of Harrys I decided to push the pace down but not all out and that mile was 7:29 and then after that I tried to keep the pace up beat but not MP and those were 8:00 and then 7:59... My legs were tired towards the end of the run but it was good to try and run at a faster pace just to teach my legs some form when their tired. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 10 minutes but the pace was easy. Average pace for the run was 8:31 with the total time being 1:00:19, I usually like to finish this route in under 60 minutes but I took my time on the uphill,  I then finished up with some strength training on my upper body and some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow.

It was a very difficult run this morning, I had a real hard time. My legs were really tired from yesterdays hard workout and they just would not go! I ran out towards GU Corner and the pace was really easy,  my average pace was 8:54 with the total time at 1:03:15, it was a forced recovery run which I think is a good thing, my legs are trying to tell me something. No elliptical today I just want to give me legs a rest....

See ya tomorrow.

I did not feel very good today when I woke up and I debated whether or not to even go, but I could here Brent yelling at me in my head to suck it up and get out there and get it done, so I did. I ran out towards Payson park but I cut out the rollers into the park, on the way out I ran into Michelle and she was kind enough to run with me for a few minutes, she is doing really good, and during that time the pace was a little faster than I needed for a recovery run and a light day, oh well it was still fun. On the last mile before the house I started to have some GI issues and that wasn't real fun;( My average pace was 8:40 with the total time being 52:36, my legs were still tired and I am just not feeling real great, I might be coming down with something cuz even when I did my strength training after the run I was feeling a little weak, oh well such is life, at least I got her done! No elliptcal today either as I am trying to take it easy.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to GU corner and my goal today was to keep every mile under 8:30 pace for the duration of the run and then try and have the last two or so be the fastest, but not all out... My legs were a little tired going out but then on the way back they started to feel a little better and I was able to get into a pretty good rythum. My plan was to do 10 miles but when I got back to the house I was feeling pretty good so I tacked on a couple more and those were the fast of the 12, they were as follows 8:00, 7:58. My average pace was 8:22 with the total time being 1:41:12, I felt a lot better today than have the rest of the week, I rolled my legs last night with the "Stick" and it seemed to help so I am hoping to start some real training this next week and maybe even get in some speed work.

See ya Monday.
