"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I ran the Payson Park loop this morning, very warm morning, my legs were pretty much dead again from the get go. The first couple of miles were all right but it was pretty tough after that with the last mile being very rough, like a death march. My average pace was slow at 9:00 even with my total time at 1:04:36, I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push-ups. Not sure why I am feeling so yucky as of late, my abdominal strain has resurfaced again so I am a little concerned about that, trying to stay healthy is pretty tough!

See ya tomorrow.

Payson canyon run this morning with the Chad and Dan and the group, my son Ethan joined us and he did really well and he seemed to like it. The pace was pretty good going up and coming down I didn't want to push it to bad, the last mile was 7:37. It was still a little warm this morning but it was still a great run, my average pace was 8:18 with a total time of 59:32, my legs felt so much better than yesterday and Saturday so that was a good thing. I finished up with my lower body weight training, just the usual, squats, leg raises and calf raises.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini GU first thing this morning and then ran back to the house, the legs felt pretty good today! I had to get Ethan to Cross Country so then I came back and tacked on another mile to get to the 7 plus miles. My average pace was 8:30 with a total time of 1:01:12, after the run I did my upper body weight training and then I finished up with some push-ups. I was pleasantly surprised with the way that my legs responded after the hill workout yesterday, I hope I can keep it going up until SG.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the pretty little hill route this morning, all via canal road, when I returned home I tacked on a couple more miles to get the 7 plus miles. My legs didn't feel real great at the first but then after the first couple of miles everything was sub 8:30 with some sub 8:20 miles in there as well. After the run I did my lower body weight training, just the usual nothing fancy just a good old solid workout. My average pace 8:34 with a total time of 1:01:40, Happy 4th of July everyone!

See ya tomorrow.

I was out the door at just before 6am and I headed out towards Mini GU and I ran into Chad, Tom and Hal and they wanted me to run up over Harry's Hill with them so I did and then after Harry's we picked up Pat Loss and we all ran together. It was a fun run and they kept the pace pretty honest and for sure up beat, at least for me anyway,  I had some sub 8 Minute miles in there with some of the downhill. Those were 7:35, 8:00, 7:54, anything 8 minute mile or less is MP miles for me so I'm counting them as such. Ran into my Brother Curtis and his son Bryan and Curtis decided to push the pace and it almost killed me, I don't know what he was thinking, I think his getting faster in his old age! HAHA!  Chad picked me up after 14.50 miles and dropped me at the stake center and I ran back to the house which gave me 15 even. My Gatorade that I had stashed was nice and slushy so I got a drink and decided to tack on a another mile, I felt like I could have keep going but decided to stop. The plan is to build slowly up to the 18 and 20 milers but my last mile was 7:54 so I was pretty proud of myself after a nice hard workout I still had a little zip in the old legs. They were zippy for me anyway!!! My average pace was 8:26 with a total time of 2:15:53. it was a good workout!

See ya Monday.
