I ran the Payson park Loop this morning and extended down in to the park, felt okay and just enjoyed the morning,  I had VPB about 5 miles in and it was not fun! My average pace was 8:39 with a total time of 1:02:03, not a real fast pace but it was a steady pace and it felt good to get out.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran over to the base of Harry's Hill ran up that and then over to woodland hills drive down to canal road and then home. I usually rock this route but not today, I had no drive in my legs at all either on the the down hill or the uphill and the last mile was a death march. My average pace was 9:00 with a total time of 57:29, I had a real bad Migraine yesterday so I don't know if that just zapped my energy or what, I haven't had that happen before with a migraine so who knows. I feel good in the fact that I was able to power through even though I wasn't feeling good.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran with cross country team this afternoon up to Lewis falls. It was a killer up hill trail run at high altitude and it did me in pretty much. Oh to be young and lungs of Steele, legs felt pretty good just my lungs could not keep up.

See ya tomorrow.

I got out this morning around 6:30 but it was an hour to late as it got pretty darn hot by the last few miles. I didn't feel bad the first 12 miles and I was averaging around 8:30 mile the whole way but the last 6 miles were kinda rough, I would contribute that to the hotter temps and I just didn't handle it very well. But, I was able to get it done and I didn't make any excuses. If I can get a few more of these in and then maybe a 20 miler I feel like I will be ready to go. Average pace was 8:37 with a total time of 2:36:41.
