I ran the Payson Park Loop but I cut out the rollers, I felt tired and I had to work for the pace that I was able to run. I tried to concentrate on the way back and try and keep the pace up beat and steady, My average pace was 8:31 with a total time of 53:04. I had to near MP miles in the middle and they were 8:09, 8:04 I would like those to be sub 8 but I wasn't very strong and smooth as I usually am so I did the best that I could. I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran down to lou's track and meet my wife and daughter and ran a few laps with them, I just needed to get some miles in because I missed out this morning. I had one MP mile on the way down at 8:00, my average pace was 8:15 with a total time of 24:57. It was a pretty upbeat run.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran Payson Canyon with the Spanish Fork Group, I felt pretty good for the first time down, I just took it easy and let the hills do all the work, my average pace was 7:53 with a total time of 1:07:27... I had 5 MP miles on the way down, 7:40, 7:35, 7:23, 7:52, 8:00. It was a great workout and I hope to get stronger as the weeks go on, I finished up with some upper body weight training and some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow.

I decided to cut back a little bit today, my legs are still pretty trashed from the Payson Canyon run on Wednesday and my legs have just felt like crap since. So, I am going to do a little taper for the next week up to the race, my plan is to go 5,4,3,2 and then take Friday off and then race Saturday. I hope my legs will feel race ready after that. My average pace was slow at 8:44 with a total time of 1:10:57, I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push-ups.

See you Monday.
