I ran the Payson Park loop and extended down into the park, I felt pretty good so I decided to do some speed work today. So on the way back I did a progression run with so pickups as well. The progression run went like this, 7:56 I had some up hill and downhill in this mile, 7:32 same here some up and downhill,  7:49 this was the pickups, so I would pick out a telephone pole and run that length and then run easy the same length I did 3 sets of these. Last mile I just took it easy. My average pace was 8:08 with a total time of 58:25 which is one of the faster times on this route so I was happy about that, it was a good mix of speed I think and I was pretty proud of the effort.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini Gu Corner via canal road, I felt pretty good considering the harder workout yesterday, the last mile was a little tough but that was because of the stomach issues and lets just say I barley made it home.

See ya tomorrow.

Hill day today, I ran to the base of Harry's Hill I then ran to the top of that and then over to Woodland Hills Drive and then back down to canal road and then home. It was a good mixture of uphill and downhill and I felt pretty good on the uphill but not so good on the downhill, but I'll get there. My average pace was 8:26 with a total time of 53:51, I had 2 MP miles with the down hill at 7:41, 7:32. it was a beautiful morning.

See ya tomorrow.

Big blue mailbox route a long Canal road, I just tried to stay easy but I had one mile that was in the 8 minute range and I didn't even know it so I slowed way down after that. My average pace was 8:25 with a total time of 47:10, it was sure a beautiful morning and a great way to start the day.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Gu corner and then back to the house, after getting back I ran the 2 mile loop out to the old barn and back.  First thing this morning I started running and I got to the Stake Center and I started to have stomach issues so I ran back home real quick and took care of business. I headed back out but my poor legs were just so tired this morning and it was like a death march the whole way. I must have ran to much yesterday and then I walked 18 holes of golf so I guess I'm to old to do that any more. I have to be smarter so I don't have these tough days like this, well at least not self inflicted anyway. My average pace was slow at 9:10 with a total time of 1:32:46, I'm still really proud of myself for gutting this one out, it was good for me mentally. I ran into my brother and we chatted a bit, he is ready for Utah Valley and he needs to really rock it!

See ya Monday.
