"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I wanted to get up early to run before I went and played golf but I didn't get my butt out of bed, so I ran this afternoon and just kept it short. I ran out towards Payson but stopped at the big blue mailbox, and then turned and ran back to the house. I picked it up on the way back and was able to beat the 8 minute guy, my average pace was 7:57 with my total time at 37:10. After the run I did my standard upper body workout on the elliptical and then some push-ups. It was sure nice outside, in the 80's and I was feeling the heat but it felt good. I walked the full length of the Golf course again this morning, 5.50 miles but this time I packed my clubs, so it was a little tougher but my legs didn't seem to get tired at all which was kind of cool, my golf game was not cool. In fact I sucked it up pretty good, 79,  worse round in a while. Oh well that is the game of golf, never a dull moment;)

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to GU Corner (Osborns) and then back to the house, I tried to keep the pace slow and easy but I had to really work to keep the pace down and easy... I had a late run yesterday and it was faster than normal so I didn't want to over do it today, my legs were tired towards the end so I know I went way to fast for a recovery run. My average pace was 8:32 with my total time being 1:09:11, after the run I jumped on the elliptical and kept the pace easy, the RPM was below 90. I finished up with some stretching and called it a day, I hope my training continues  the way that its going, I've been real pleased so far.

See ya tomorrow.

I did all my running on the canal today. First I ran out towards the big blue mailbox and then ran back to the house and then out to the T in the road and then back to the house for a total of 8 miles even. I felt okay at first and then not so good in the middle and then a little better towards the end. My average pace was 8:19 with the total time at 1:06:45, I had one sub 8 minute mile in the middle (7:50) so I counted that as a MP mile. I had some good tunes today which got me through the run, Heart, Lou Gram and the boys and some other classics. I will probably do my hill route tomorrow, but I will have to see how I am feeling. I finished up with my upper body weight training and then some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow.

My left achillies has been really tight the last couple of days so I have been taking it easy... I will run Saturday for sure but I just don't want to injure it and then be out for good, if you know what I mean. It actually started last week but I have been running anyway, so I am trying to listen to my body and be smart.

Later.

Still taken it easy with my achillies but will run tomorrow for sure.

I was up at 6 this morning and then out the door by 6:15 and I headed out to GU Corner and then down into the river bottoms, I stopped and talked to my brother SimmBad for a few and then headed on my way. After hitting my 5 mile mark I turned and headed for home, I stopped at GU corner and fueled up and then was on my way back to the house. After I got to the house I got a drink and then went back out for 3.10 miles more but I kept the pace very easy, average pace for that run was 8:44,  with total time being 27:06. For the first 10 miles the pace was up beat I had 6 of the miles that were 8 or sub 8 and then rest were sub 8:20, so my average pace for that portion was 8:00 even with the total time being 1:20:24. After the run and some stretching I jumped on the elliptical for 25 minutes at a moderate to hard pace and that was it for the day. My achillies started to tighten up after about 5 miles and was pretty much there for the rest of the run, I rolled it pretty good with the stick so hopefully I can get it worked out...

See ya Monday.
