I ran out to the old barn on canal road and then I turned and headed back to the house, I was having stomach issues which hindered me pretty good back to the house. After taking care of business I headed down to the High School to meet the girls and help them with their 1.25 mile run, my legs was about like Saturday, it felt tolerable after about 2 miles or so. I ran with the girls and they did great and then I ran back to the house, my pace was slower than normal but I just felt tired but that's okay I was able to at least get a run done. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then finished up with push-ups. I just have to hope that this leg issue doesn't get any worse and i can continue to train, if not then I will be really pissed off.!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran Payson Canyon with the Guys and Kim, I was worried about my leg and how it would handle it but it did pretty good, there was some discomfort but nothing to bad... I pushed the pace pretty good, the first few miles were easy and then the next 5.86 were pretty fast, at least for me, 7:48, 7:43, 7:39, 7:38, 7:36, last .86 7:32. It was a pretty good tempo run but we weren't going all out just a nice steady run and I was surprised that my legs did as well as they did, this is only my 3rd time running it so that was good. Average pace was 7:48 with a total time of 1:01:23, it was a good workout.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran down to the school and ran with the Cheer girls and then ran back to the house, my legs were pretty wiped out from yesterday and it was slow go for the most part but I got her done. My lower left leg is still hurting about a 5 out of 10 but as I got going it was tolerable, my brother-in-law, the PT, worked it over pretty good last night so I'm sure that was the reason for it being sorer than normal. My average pace was way slow at 9:18, which included some uphill, and my total time was 47:31. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then I finished up with some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow.

I did the elliptical today for 30 minutes and then one mile on the treadmill, I'm just trying to work out the stiffness in my legs fron the downhill run on Tuesday. While running on the treadmill my lower leg was pretty darn painful so thats not a good thing, it did feel okay on the elliptical but that's not going to do me any good training for a marathon... If the old leg doesn't get on the mend soon then I will most likely bail, I'll see how it goes tomorrow when I run and then go from there.

See ya tomorrow.
