"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I ran out towards Payson and extended up the hill into Payson, I kept the pace pretty easy but I think not slow enough. My legs were still a little dead from Saturday's long run, but the pace was still quicker than I wanted it to be;-) I was able to run into Paul Bradley and get the scoop on how his wife is recovering, they were in a real bad auto accident awhile back, he said that his wife had to be taken back to the hospital last night because she has developed a infection, I hope she gets better soon its been a tough haul for both of them... My average pace was 8:30 with my total time at 51:41, HR average was at 139 and then I finished up with some strength training on the upper body on the Bowflex. I have let that part go as of late so I need to get my lazy but going again, I also did some push-ups and I think I will start the Push up challenge this week and see how I can do;-)

See ya tomorrow.

I ran my Mini GU corner route today and the pace was about the same as yesterday, a little faster than I should be going but I just went with it... I kept the pace fairly up beat for me, my average was 8:20 with my total time at 51:01 and my HR average at 145.  I felt pretty good for the most part, but I think I need to slow down a bit I don't want to get injured or anything;-) I might run up loafer canyon a little ways tomorrow, but I think I will go more towards the mail boxes than straight up the canyon, I don't think I'm ready for that yet;-)

See ya tomorrow.

I ran Part way up Loafer but when I reached the stop sign I turned and headed for the mail boxes at the woodland hills turn-a-bout and then I ran part way up woodland hills drive and then I headed back to the mail boxes... After that I headed back down the same way I came up, which is all down hill until I reach canal road again, after getting to canal road  I headed out to the old Barn going towards Payson just to tack on a extra mile and then once I hit the old barn I headed back to the house. I felt really good going up loafer and then up to the mail boxes, legs felt strong, but I was getting a side ache again in the same place its really getting to be annoying! I did some tempo miles coming down, but I didn't push it as hard as I could have, I didn't want to over do it but those MP miles were; 7:42, 7:17, 7:38 this last mile was more on the flat with just a little down hill. My average pace was 8:14 with my total time at 58:40, my HR average was at 147 so it was a pretty good workout and then I finished up with 20 minutes of upper body weight training on the Bowflex and then some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow.

My legs were pretty tired from the hard workout yesterday so I kept it pretty easy I averaged around an 9:00 pace for the whole run, total time was 54:30 and my HR average was 137. I'm kind of concerned about my left foot again, I feel like I'm getting Planters, I have been doing some extra stretching throughout the day to try and help it but I don't know what to think.  Just as long as it doesn't get any worse than it is I will be alright, I might be ready for some new shoes, we shall see... It was a little cold again this morning, I could have used my gloves;-) The last mile was pretty brutal as I was having some stomach issues and barley made it home, I had to walk a little the last two tenths of a mile, I was hating it!

See ya tomorrow. 

I ran out towards Payson via Canal road and extended up the little hill and then headed back for home, once I reached my house I ran out to the stake center and back to complete the 6.32 total miles... I tried to keep it easy but I gradually sped up and finished with an 8:32 pace for the run, total time was 54:06 HR average was 140. My foot felt okay I iced it after the run and rolled it and then I finished up with some weight training on the upper body on the Bowflex. I also did some push-ups after the weight training 30 minutes total. My son Ethan is 11 and last night with a runner on 2nd and a runner on 3rd hit a home run in the bottom of the 6th inning and last ups and we ended up winning, it was amazing! He's just a little pip squeak but he can sure hit the ball, I usually don't brag but he is such a good kid and I just wanted to share that with you all...

Have a good one.

I did my usual Saturday 10 miler, out towards the river bottoms and GU corner, I kept the pace up beat and pleasant, I had about for miles that were in the 8:00 pace range and then I did a marathon pace mile at the end (7:27)... My average pace was 8:15 with my HR average at 145 total time was 1:23:26. I felt pretty good the whole run, I did have some issues with my PF on the left foot but I iced with I finished and then rolled it so hopefully it won't get any worse. I saw my Brother Curtis towards the end it looked like he was heading to Harry's Hill and points beyond, I would have ran with him but I was starting to have some stomach issues and I just wanted to get home, If you know what I mean! I'm pretty happy with my week it has been a good week of training, see you on  Monday. My son Ethan is trying out for the Salem Shooters U-12 team today, I am nervous for him but he seems to be calm as can be.

See ya later
