Not a very fun run this morning, my legs were shot pretty bad from the 18 miler on Saturday and they did not want to move! This has to be the worst run of the summer just from the legs being dead and then how freakin slow the pace was and I had no desire to even try and wake them up! Average pace was way slow at 9:20 with a total time of 58:22 I finished up with some light upper body weight training and then some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow

The good old Payson canyon run this morning with the group and I was worried about my calf so I tried not to push the pace but I did want a few sub 8 minute miles and I was able to do that.  About half way down I started to feel the old calf but my PT told me to try running on the opposite side of the road if it feels like it's flaring up and see if that helps, so I did and it did seem to help. The last mile or so my legs were feeling it but I was able to run the last mile pretty good and my calf seemed to hold up, its not 100% yet but it is almost there. My average pace for the run was 8:14 with a total time of 1:31:22, after the run I did my lower body weight training; one legged squats, regular squats, one legged raises and then calf raises. It was a pretty good day and I was glad that I was able to get her all done, even though it wasn't my fastest time down the canyon it was still pretty good considering the calf and everything.

See ya tomorrow.

Afternoon run today as I was late getting up this morning and had to get going, it was pretty hot with a slight breeze so it made it tolerable but I have a new found respect for my Brother Curtis who trains in the afternoon every day in the heat, what a beast! I was pretty trashed from the 11 miler downhill run yesterday so I wasn't expecting much but I was surprised to find my pace was pretty decent, I just tried to work on my form and not think to much. I ran out to mini Gu and back via canal road and my average pace was 8:25 with a total time of 51:25, so I was glad that I finally got out today it was a good way to end the day.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran with Kent and Mike this morning and we ran out past Mini Gu and then out to GU and then back to the stake center. I kept the pace easy and I was pretty tired from my afternoon run yesterday so the legs were feeling it pretty good. My average pace was 8:45 with a total time of 1:05:59, nice and easy recovery run. After the run I did my lower body weight training: Squats, one legged leg raises and some calf raises. I'm glad I got her done for the day.

See ya tomorrow.

Well the plan this morning was to start at 5am and run with Jeff long and we started out with all the lighting and then it started to down pour and we decided not to chance it so we sprinted home. We were able to get in 3 miles and that was it, lightening dancing all around us and it felt like we were running for our lives!!! I went in and dried off and the weather cleared a bit so I headed back out, I ran into my Brother Curtis and ran with him for about 9 miles and then I had to call it a day as I wanted to get over to Ethan's Cross Country meet in Orem, he did so Awesome 17:20 for the 5k. The course was a little short but it was over a minute PR from the last meet so he is right on track for a sub 17 and dare I say sub 16 minute 5K by the end of the cross country season. My average pace was 8:31 with a total time of 1:45:41, I did have 3 sub 8 minute miles in the middle, 7:57, 7:40 7:25, I didn't quite get in all the miles that I wanted but I really like to see Ethan run so I wasn't missing that.

See ya Monday.
