Pretty little Hill extended. 20 Minute cool down on the elliptical. Legs felt trashed on the run and I had some stomach issues that was not pleasant at all. My average pace was 9:35 with a total time of 59:30.

See you tomorrow.

Payson Canyon with the Boys! Bigfoot & B-Goat. I started a little clunky and just not really in to it but then I loosened up and really found a pretty good rhythm. I had 5 MP miles at 7:59, 7:58, 7:49, 7:49, 8:06. My averrage pace was 8:14 with a total time of 1:05:58. I finished with some upper and lower body weights and some push-ups. It was a really good effort this morning. I'm pleased with it.

See you tomorrow.
