Out towards Payson Park but I stopped short of the rollers. Was not feeling good at all the first half of the run but then on the way back thimngs loosened up and my stride seemed a lot more fluid. My average pace was 9:03 with a total time of 56:49, I finished up with some upper and lower body weights and some pushups. its a good start to the week.

See you tomorrow.

Pretty Little Hill extended. I felt horrible on this one. Pace was so slow again. Frustrating. Last week I was so much better pace wise. I was back to my old self from 6 years ago. I don't understsand it. Oh well. My average pace was  9:20 with a total time of 1:06:51. Its a crazy how different I can be week to week. Maybe it comes with age.

See you tomorrow.

Payson Canyon with the Big Guy. I took it easy going down for the first time. Hopefully my time will improve as we get more use to the downhill. My average pace was 8:52 with a total time of 53:39, I finished with some lower body weights.

See you tomorrow.

I was feeling really good through 11 miles and then I hit the wall pretty good. Legs were trashed. My average pace was 9:27 with a total time of 2:13:35, I finished with some upper body weights and some pushups. I was happy with the effort but I just ran out of steam. I'm sure it had something to do with the canyon run on Thursday. I had a decent week mileage wise.

see you Monday.
