"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I did a nice easy recovery run today, my legs are still a little sore from Saturday's race. Average pace was a nice easy 9:09 pace with a average heart rate of 135. I have the Art City Am Golf tournament this weekend a three day tournament and I hope to do good in it this year. I feel like my game has come around and I would like to have three good rounds,but golf is a funny game so you never know.. I hope to slowly increase my miles each day this week, depending on how fast the stiffness goes away and how my foot is feeling. It is still a little sore from the race on Saturday but it is alot better than I thought it would be. Not much else to say except I will see you tomorrow.

Another easy recovery run just trying to work the stiffness out, I felt a little better this morning than yesterday morning,  the foot seemed to be  some what better too. My average pace was 9:02 and my average heart rate was 134, I think I'll wait until next week to do some tempo runs I am going to try and keep it easy the rest of the week... I will do some hill work , maybe tomorrow or the next day depending on how I feel.

I just tryed to take it easy again today, nothing fancy. Average pace was 8:59 and my average heart rate was 134, total time was 54:05. My foot is still sore but I am able to complete each run so I am not so concerned as of yet and it hasn't got any worse. I might try some hill work tomorrow but we will see what tomorrow brings, my legs are still a little sluggish from the race on Saturday but getting better...

I ran Harry's hill this morning.. I didn't try and push it I just wanted to get some hill training in and brake up the boredom.. My heart rate going up I kepted down (151) it is usually 10 beats per minute faster when I am pushing it, so I was happy that I was able to keep the rate down and still get up it in reasonable time. My average pace was 9:10 and my average heart rate was 134 total time was 1:14:50, I wasn't much slower than yesterday's recovery run on a flat surface so I think that is incouraging. My legs felt pretty good throughout the run but they did get a little tired towards the end of the run, but I think that is to be expected after so much hill training. Not much else to say except I will see you tomorrow...

Recovery run today trying to recovery from Harry's hill of yesterday, it was alittle hard getting out of bed this morning,  but once I was able to get out of bed I seemed to do alright. I just wanted to keep things nice and simple today and I think I was able to do that, my average pace was 9:03 and my average heart rate was 135, total time was 1:03:41. Tomorrow I would like to go 12 to 15 miles depending on how my foot is feeling and if I am up to it, I think I am ready for a longer long run, but we shall see. Today is the Doug Oldroyd Memorial Golf Tournament at Hobble Creek Golf Course, Doug was a friend of mine that died of colon cancer a couple of years ago, so we hold this tournament to kind of kick of the weekend for another tournament the Art City Am on the same golf course. We miss Doug deeply and think of him everyday, so this is a fitting tribute to him and his wife and their kids....

See ya tomorrow.

I did a long run this morning.. I didn't get out until about 6:30am and by the time I got towards the end it was getting warm. But I had plenty of liquid with me and when I ran out I stopped at my brothers pit stop and refilled, thanks bro. My goal today was to keep my pace at about the same as my recovery runs during the week, my foot is starting to feel good and I didn't want to push it, plus I don't think I am ready for a tempo long run yet. So, my average pace was 9:02 and my average heart rate was 138 total time was 2:07:02, the pace I was keeping was a pace that was really comfortable and I feel like I could hold that apce for along time, and I was excited at how at the end I had enough energy to speed up and not have it be difficult, it almost felt natural so that was really cool. If my foot stays on course then I think I might be up for a nice tempo run this next week, which is exciting. I have only one problem, I have to go in on Monday for an Endoscopy of my throat and esophegus, they have to put me out and I will be out of it for most of the day so there will be no running on Monday.. Hopefully good news will come from this, I am a little nervous so whom ever reads this just say a little prayer for me, thanks.

See ya Monday..
