"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I started out running out towards payson but I started to have stomach issues so I turned back for home. I made it home just in time and then I even debated wither or not to go back out cuz my legs were thrashed from my long run on Saturday, but then I decided to pull my head out and go back out for a few more miles. The last few miles felt a lot better so I was glad that I broke through and stayed with it, my plan is to run Payson Canyon tomorrow with the group my PT said to give it a try and se how it goes. I think I will take it easy ans just try to keep my pace easy and so I don't over do it. My average pace for the run was way slow at 8:58 with a total time of 54:46 my pace was really slow until the last few miles I was able to get back down to a sub 8:30 pace which is a good training pace for me. I finished up with some light  upper body weight training and then some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow. 

The plan was to run Payson Canyon but my PT wanted me to try something different, he wanted me to start out with a little warm up and then do half uphill and then half the run downhill just to see how my calf holds up. So I ran Mt loafer road which is about right from my house its about .40 warm up until you start the uphill and then its 3 miles up just past the turn off to Elf ridge. So that's what I did and I have forgotten how steep that darn thing is but I felt pretty good going up and then I just tried to keep the pace steady coming down and it adds up to a good mix of uphill and downhill training. Its just keeps getting steeper and steeper the further you go up! My average pace was 8:55 but on the way down I had an 8:16, 8:00 and then a 7:59 for a total time of 55:17, I had a 5 minute negative split on the way down that just shows you how steep it is going up! It took me a good 30 plus minutes to go up and then the 25:17 coming down, I didn't see any bears but I almost got ran over by a couple of deer!:) I finished up with my lower body weight training, squats leg raises and calf raises and one legged leg raises. Calf felt great so I hope I am finally past this and I can get in some good training all the way to the SGM.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past mini Gu and then back to the house via canal road, my legs felt pretty good on the way out but then the last 2 miles felt like a death march, they were really tired from the hill workout yesterday I guess. My average pace was slow at 9:02 and my total time was 1:04:35, after the run I did my upper body weight training and then finished up with some push-ups. I'm  glad to be done for the day.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to payson via canal road and my legs have just been toast the last week but I started to do some strides about have way through so I tried to wake my legs up doing those the last little bit. I just went from telephone pole to telephone pole and tried to extend it each time. All of the them were in the sub 7:20 range, my average pace for the run was 8:40 with a total time of 54:08, I finished up with some lower body weight training; squats, one legged leg raises and calf raises. Light day tomorrow.

later.

Resting for tomorrows Long run...

Long run today out to GU and then down into the river bottoms, I ran my two mile loop down in there and then headed back to GU. I hooked up with Jeff Long for the rest of the way and we ran up over Harry's Hill and then up to the mail boxes and then over to loafer canyon road and then back down to the house. I was at 16 miles so I tacked on a few more to get to 18 plus so I ran out past the Stake center and then back to the house. I felt okay for the most part but I was pretty tired going up harry's and then up to the mail boxes and the pace was pretty slow, but I got her done and I am glad that I stayed with it. My average pace slower than usual but not to bad, 8:43 and my total time was 2:38:36, one 18 miler done and another few to go starting next Saturday.

See ya Monday.
