"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I did my Payson via canal road route this morning. My legs were really sore from working in the yard on Saturday, I planted over 600 flowers just in my front yard alone so I guess all the bending down and squatting kind of used muscles I don't regularly use so I was pretty clunky and I had a hard time keeping my rhythm, but I was able to get through it;-) My average pace was 8:41 with my HR average at 139, total time was 52:34 I'm glad to have it over with and I hope my legs feel alittle better tomorrow.

See you Later.

My legs felt a little better this morning but they are still like a couple of dead sticks, so I kept the pace easy and just tried to "Get-R-Done"... My average pace was 8:42 with my HR average at 140 total time was 53:06, I need to think about doing some tempo work here in the next little bit but it seems like my legs are always tired, I am trying to be patient;-) Ethan has another baseball game tonight, they are playing the best team in the league so it could get ugly, pray for us:-(

See ya tomorrow.

Very seldom does my work interfere with my morning running but today it did... I thought that maybe I would be able to get a run in after work but it never happened, but I did get to play against my son Ethan's accelerated Shooters Soccer team, it was alot of fun so I ran pretty hard so I ight give myself a mile for the effort. I was able to put in a header for a goal so that was pretty cool... Ethan also made the u-12 team for this fall so it should be fun;-) I will be back at it again tomorrow so don't be to hard on me!

See ya then.

When I started running this morning I noticed a horrible pain right in the middle of my left buttocks muscle, very painful, I could barely move! I don't know what has caused this but I could only do 4 miles at a 10 minute pace and then I finished upon the elliptical... I felt fine playing with the boys yesterday for the closing social for soccer, I didn't feel anything weird happen so I don't know what is going on here! I didn't have any pain while finishing up on the elliptical and its not hurting just sitting here so I don't know what to think, I will have to see how tomorrow goes and then go from there. I don't want to be injured again, I was just getting back into a good grove dang-it!!! Has anyone ever had the same problem? I mean it is right in the middle of my butt muscle, it made me feel like I was dragging my leg along instead of running, very disappointing;-(

I will see you tomorrow.

My legs were a little better this morning but still very, very, sore! My buttocks problem is still there but not as bad as it was yesterday, but still bad enough to slow me way, way down:-( Average pace was 9:25 my average HR was 132 total time was 48:48, really, really slow... I got passed by Mac running at light speed, she was a blurr, but hey I was able to pass sideways man twice so I have that to build on;-) There is this guy that I pass running every other day on my Payson route who is bent in a reverse C and so it looks like he is walking sideways, but you have to give the guy credit, he's about 90 and is out there doing it so it is inspiring! I hope I continue to improve for tomorrow so I can go a little farther but I might not go very far just to let all these nagging injuries heal up...

See ya tomorrow.

Not a very good run this morning, my legs were very dead and then theres the knot in my left buttocks that is giving me fits, but that wasn't as bad as the dead legs it was brutal. My average pace was very slow again at 9:03 with my Heart Rate average at 135, total time was 1:00:00 even... I ran up and around Pretty Little Hill and then down towards Mini Gu corner but I stopped about a half of a mile short and then headed back towards home, just not feeling real great;-( I was able to try out my new Nimbus 11 so that was pretty fun and they seem to work really well. I also ran into the spanish fork group and they were all looking good, I just smiled and waved. One bright thing that happened yesterday was I played some really good golf, if I would have had a better putting day I would have shot 68 or 69 but I ended up with an even par 71, so I was really happy about that;-) I am hoping to work on that a little harder this year but we will see how the time constraints go with that.

Well thats about it, see ya on Monday. I'm looking forward to the day off tomorrow to recover, lets hope it happens:-)
