"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

No running today. I was traveling back from Lake Powell and then when I returned home I had nothing left after cleaning everything up so I will run in the morning. We had a great time but its good to be home so we can sleep in our own beds, trailering it gets real old real fast!

See ya in the morning.

I ran out past Mini GU Corner and I wasn't feeling real great but I stuck with it, and when I returned home I did a mile loop around my house just to get one more mile in for the day. Then I went and did 15 minutes on the elliptical and some push ups to finish up the day, my average pace was 8:30 with my HR average at 142 total time was 1:08:52... I will be running the Riverwoods 10 miler this Saturday, I will use that as my speed work for the week. I wanted to run the Utah Valley Marathon but I am not ready for a marathon right now so I will opt for a cheap imitation of a race;-)

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Loafer Canyon and then turned and went to the mail boxes, my legs were really tired today and I had a hard time getting them moving so I kept the pace nice and easy going up and then coming back down. Average pace was 9:08 with my HR average at 138, total time was 56:36. I finished up with 10 minutes on the elliptical and then 20 minutes of weight training on The Bowflex, I hope my legs feel better tomorrow they were whacked out this morning.

See ya tomorrow

I just did an easy run out towards Payson via canal road. I just wanted to shake the old legs out for the race tomorrow and I have to say that my legs are feeling pretty dead so I hope I can run a respectable race tomorrow... My average pace was 8:50 with my HR rate at 136, total time was 35:55. I didn't run yesterday. My friend called me and needed a forth for a scramble up at Wasatch Golf course, we ended up winning which was cool. It was colder than heck, we teed off at 8:00 am so it was pretty brisk for the middle of September, but it was fun! I finished up the day with some weight training on the Bowflex, I'll see you after the race tomorrow and hopefully I do well.

See ya later

The riverwoods 10 miler this morning and on the way up on the bus we were able to see some of the UVM leaders. Sasha seemed to be doing well and I noticed Josse was doing good was well, I hope they all finished well... I arrived at the buses at 6:00am and then went and picked up my bib and then waited for my brother to show up, after that we jumped on a bus and headed to the start. It was a little nippy but not bad and we were lucky to beat the rain which made it even nicer. I was able to talk to Mac at the start, she did really well taking 2nd over all, she blew by my me and I just smiled and waved;-)

Here are my splits; 6:49,7:06, 7:04, 7:15, 7:18, 7:15, 7:07, 7:15, 7:23 really starting to lose it here, and then 7:24 just trying to hang on. I was kind of disappointed with those last 2 miles I could have pushed it harder but I chose to be lazy, I was getting pretty tired though so I just kind of took it easy. I feel pretty good about the effort minus those last two miles I need to work on getting my base mileage up a little and then maybe I will be stronger towards the end for the next one. I probably started out a little to fast but all I could here was Brent in my ear telling me to let it all hang out, so I did!!! I did have a PR, but not by alot maybe a few seconds. If I could have pushed those last two miles a little better I might have had a minute PR, I'm such an idiot!

My brother Curtis took 1st in his age division which was pretty cool, he is coming right along I need to step it up just a bit!

I finished up when I returned home with 20 minutes on the elliptical and some push-up.

See ya Monday.
