I tried to loosen up the old legs this morning, they are pretty trashed from Trek last week, I have the speedy spaniard 10k tomorrow and it should be a real stinker. I didn't know that walking could thrash them so much but they are dead! So I guess the plan for tomorrow is to just get in some tempo miles if I can and call it good, no PR's tomorrow. My average pace was 8:29 and my total time 53:08, the last couple of miles felt like death march! 

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the speedy spaniard 10K this morning, I wasn't expecting anything real big out of this race other than to get some nice speed work accomplished for a change. I knew that this wouldn't be a PR day but I wanted it to be on honest effort and give it a good try. My goal was to keep around a 7:30 pace through out and I think I was able to do that for the most part. The first mile was up hill so I let that mile get away from me but I seemed to recover after that some, I need to work on my speed and get some good hill training in before St. George that's for sure.  My average pace was 7:32 with my total un-offical time 46:16.

See ya tomorrow.

I just couldn't find time to run today. I will be running Payson canyon tomorrow morning with the group, so that should be fun.

Later.

I ran Payson canyon this morning with SF group. My goal was to average just under an 8 minute mile, I didn't want to push it where I had just ran the 10K on Tuesday but I thought with the downhill it would be fairly easy to keep that pace with out much effort. i thought about just doing the 8 mile route but decided to extend all the way as I missed my run yesterday and I new that the last two miles I could just take it easy if I was feeling run down. My average pace was 7:58 with a total time of 1:28:42,I felt a lot better than the first time I ran this route so I hope I am getting stronger. Easy run tomorrow and then I will need a pretty good long run on Saturday.

See ya later.

After yesterdays long downhill run I needed more recovery time, calf was kind of bothering me today, so that was the main reason for playing it safe. I need a pretty good long run tomorrow, 15 to 18 miles, hopefully my body will cooperate. As I get older it takes me more time to recover, its just something that I am going to have to deal with and accept as much as I hate to admit it! I wish I would have started running 20 years ago then maybe I would have reached my goals by now. Oh well, do what I can and enjoy the journey no matter what or where it takes me.

See ya tomorrow.

Well the goal today was to run 15 miles and I was able to do that but it was pretty much a death march! My legs were still pretty sore from the Payson canyon run so it was a struggle from mile 6 onward. I thought about doing Harry's hill but I new after 8 miles that it wasn't going to happen, so I kept the pace steady and just tried to do my Best. Average pace was 8:44 with my total time at 2:12:47, I'm glad that this run is over! My calf seemed okay after it got warmed up so I hope I can run Payson canyon on Tuesday, time will tell I guess. 

See ya Monday.
