I ran the Payson Park loop this morning, legs felt pretty good considering the hard run on Saturday pace was up beat and pretty darn steady. My average pace was 8:20 with a total time of 59:51, the last mile my legs were starting to feel it a little bit but they held up pretty good. I ran in the Nimbus 15's and they felt pretty darn good, no its off to golf and see if I can get my game back together it has been pretty bad this year so far.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past mini GU corner up power house about half way to GU and then back to the house, all via canal road. I felt okay but not great but my legs seemed to do better on the way back, my average pace was 8:41 with a total time of 1:02:39, after the run I did my standard lower body weight training, just the usual. We are suppose to get some rain today, I hope we do we really need it.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran after work today and I was able to get out just before 5pm and I ran the big blue mailbox route which keeps me mostly on canal road for all of the run. I felt pretty darn good today and I had 1 mile at MP in the middle and I didn't even realize it so I tacked another one on after that one but I pushed a little harder, those miles were 7:56 and 7:27. The 7:56 mile felt really comfortable which was surprising and the 7:27 was a little bit more labored but not bad. My average pace was 8:13 with a total time of 1:01:59, after the run I did my upper body weight training and then finished up with some push-ups. It was a good day of training and I'm glad I got her done today.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the pretty little hill route this morning and then once I got back to the house I went out to the old barn and back for 2 more miles all via canal road. My legs were pretty trashed from the late run yesterday but I was able to get her done and that's what matters. My average pace was slow at 8:57 with a total time of 1:04:29, after the run I did my lower body weight training...

See ya tomorrow.

No running today. Decided to take the day off, will go longer tomorrow.  I have had a pretty good Month of training, at least for me anyway and I did walk 18 holes of golf today which I have GPS the distance at Hobble Creek Golf Course and its just over 5 miles, pretty hilly to so a pretty good work out. I played so-so, shot 76...

See ya tomorrow.

I was able to get out the door around 6 or so am this morning and I headed out to Gu and then down into the river bottoms and then came back the same way all via canal road. I ran into My brother and his son and we chatted for awhile, it is always good to know that there are other friends out there getting after it! I felt okay for the most part but after 8 miles I got a little light headed so I stopped at the Stake Center and took some GU and some Gatorade shots and it seemed to help. When I got back to the house I went for another 3 mile loop by my house, my average pace for the run was 8:25 with a total time of 1:50:47, I had some quicker miles in the middle of the run, 8:09, 8:16 and then my last mile was my fastest at 8:12, they felt really comfortable and I wasn't really working to hard. I hope I can continue on this road that I'm on and stay injury free, it would be a first for me in getting ready for SG.

See ya Monday.
