I ran the Payson park loop this morning but I didn't extend down into the park I stayed on top. My legs were super tired at the first but felt a little better towards the end, my average pace was 9:06 with a total time of 56:32. It took my legs about 3 miles to loosen up to where they felt decent, not great but tolerable. I'm going to try and do Payson canyon tomorrow before I run the girls, but that will depend on how the old legs are feeling... I think I will only go from about Maple Dell and then down to the school, I'm not ready to go all the way to the top yet.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran down to the high school and ran the girls, they are up to 1.30 miles they are really coming along nicely, and then I ran home via Elk Ridge drive which is a pretty good little up hill and then home on canal road. Legs seemed to loosen up as I went and I felt pretty good towards the end, my average pace was 8:35 with a total time of 54:13.  It was a good start to the day.

See ya tomorrow.

Drove up to My brother-in-laws at the top of woodland hills and then ran down to the mailboxes and then over to Mt Loafer road, down past the elementary school to canal road and then added on a couple more out to the Stake Center and then back to the house. There is some serious downhill in this run and it was hard on the old quads, but I need to start doing this to prepare for Payson canyon next month when I start running that. My average pace was 8:33 with a total time of 1:01:48. I really held back on the downhill and I hope as I get stronger I will be able to go faster, I did have an 8 minute mile on one of them so that is a MP mile. It was a good run,

See ya tomorrow.

I ran down to the High school and ran the Girls and then I ran a lap around the track and then back up 300 west to canal road and then out past the Stake Center and then home. My legs were pretty tired from yesterdays run but they were tolerable and I feel like they did better than expected. I kept the pace easy at a 9:02 average and then a total time of 56:32, its been another good week of training and I like the road that I am on.

See ya tomorrow.

I was up a little earlier this week to try and beat the heat but I should have started even earlier but it was still tolerable, I ran the same route as last week but I didn't feel as strong at the end... My average pace was 8:40 with a total time of 2:10:53, I think my legs were tired from the down hill workout mid week because I had nothing towards the end this week. But it was still a good workout and a good week of training.

See ya Monday.
