I ran out to Mini Gu to test out the old calf and it felt the best that its felt in about two weeks. I felt it a tiny bit on the way back towards the end but all in all it was pretty good, so I will see how it goes this week because its really hard to tell after one run. I'll need to see how it is tomorrow and then the next day and so on and so forth. My average pace was real easy at 8:42 with my total time at 52:40, I felt pretty good strength wise going out but on the way back I did get a little tired in the legs. I think the strength will come back quicker than I think as I keep running, I'll just have to work through it! After the run I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups, I haven't done that in a while and it should, very weak.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Payson via canal road, out to peteetneet school and it looked like they had a pretty good group today running down the canyon. I probably need to hold off another week before I give that a try again, I don't want to screw up the calf again. I was a little slower this morning my average pace was 8:53 with a total time of 55:13,  I'm just trying to get back into a good flow after a few weeks off. After the run  I did some light lower body weight training so a pretty good workout!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini GU and then back to the house all via canal road, calf felt pretty good going out but on the way back home I felt a little bit of a niggle but i don't think its a big deal. Pace was real slow and by the time I got back my legs were pretty trashed, not a good sign, but I'll just go with it. Average pace was 8:44 with a total time of 52:46, after getting home I did some one legged leg presses out on the steps, 3 sets of 15 reps each leg.

My son Ethan is running his first cross country meet of his high school career today and the coach wants him and one other 9th grader to run Varsity today so he was pretty stoked! I'm so proud of him! He has been working so hard! I hope he does well and has a positive experience!

Later.

My PT advised me that I probably need to take today off if I'm planning on going long tomorrow, so I did.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out towards GU corner and then down in the river bottoms I didn't feel real great at the start and almost gave into my bad attitude but I hung in there and was able to get her done. My last 5 miles were all sub 8:30 so I was stronger towards the end so that was a good thing, my average pace was 8:35 with a total time of 2:09:11. I'm glad I hung in there and stayed with it, the calf felt pretty good too so I am hopeful. We'll see how it handles Payson canyon on Tuesday:) 

I'm taking my daughter Abby down to college today! I'm feeling kind of sad but I know it has to happen! She has just grown up so fast! I love my Little girl!

 

See ya Monday
