I was not feeling real well this morning, my legs were pretty tired from Saturday 20 miler and I was having stomach issues again! I ran the Payson Park loop and once I reached the park I could feel the stomach issues getting worse so I ran up to the pool cuz I have used their facilities before. Once I got there they were locked, so now I'm even farther from home and I new it was going to be a death march! I just decided to stay relaxed and not push the pace, as my legs were pretty much dead anyway I knew that wouldn't be a problem. needless to say I was able to make it home without to much discomfort and I am glad the run is finished. My average pace was real slow at 8:58 with my total time at 1:12:04, I'm glad to have this run over with and I hope my legs feel better for tomorrow's run. No time for strength training this morning I have a lot to do with work and other things so away I go.

Later.

I ran after work today and it was pretty dang hot but I was able to get her done for the day... I ran out to Mini Gu and then back to the house, pace was easy at 8:34 average and my total time was 52:10. I did a light Leg workout one set of each exercise and then I rolled my legs with the big foam roller.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Payson park loop this morning but I cut out the rollers, my legs were pretty tired and they didn't have a lot of zip in them so real slow on the way out. On the way back I did 3 half mile pick-ups between 7:10 and 7:30 pace which seemed to wake them up just a bit and then when I got back to the house I ran out to the Stake Center and back to tack on another easy mile. My average pace for the run was slow at 8:48 with a total time of 1:04:08 after the run I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. My daughter Abby is graduating from High school today, I can't believe my little girl is all grown up! My how the time has flown, I am so proud of her!

See ya tomorrow.

I did some hill work today, afternoon run at around 5:30 or so. I ran up past Mt Loafer school and then there is a 150 meter hill that is an 8% grade so the plan was to do 5 hill repeats and then run up to the mailboxes and then back to the house. I felt really good and I was able to keep a pretty good pace going up each one, they were all in the 7:10 to 7:20 range, quads felt pretty good. After that I extended up to the mailboxes and then I kept a pretty good pace back down and to the house. I had 2 downhill miles of 7:16, 7:41 Some flat and some hill, my average pace for the run was 8:17 with a total time of 53:45. I felt pretty good on the up hill but I need to run more relaxed on the downhill I always feel like I'm straining to not over do it so that will be something to work on after Utah Valley.  After the run I did my lower body weight training, squats leg raises and calf raises.

See ya tomorrow.

I usually don't run on Friday's but I leave it as an option, if I feel good then I will,  and I felt pretty good this morning so I went for it, but the plan is generally only to go 4 miles or so and I have to keep the pace pretty easy. So, I ran out past the old barn and towards Payson and just enjoyed the run, my average pace was 8:34 with a total time of 40:24. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. Tomorrow the plan is for around 15 miles, as I will start to taper for the Utah Valley Marathon starting tomorrow... I feel pretty good and I am wondering what kind of effort I should try for the race, I just don't know.

See ya tomorrow.

What a hard run today! My legs were so dead that I had a hard time beating the 9 minute guy! Very frustrating! I ran out to the river bottoms via Gu Corner and then I ran my 2 mile loop down in there and then I made my way back to the house, it was pretty much a death march the whole way! I felt really good last week on my last 20 miler but today it was a good thing that its taper time or I would be really upset. I was hoping to do around 16 but it wasn't happening today so I just took what my legs would let me do and called it a day. My average pace was real slow at 9:06 and my total time was 1:49:22,  like I said pretty much a death march.  Time for a nap!

Later
