I ran the Payson Park loop this morning and my old legs took awhile to get going but on the way back my turn over seemed to improve. No knots in my calf's and everything seemed okay so that is a good sign. I'm still fighting the bug that I've had the last week, so my whole body just seemed fatigued but I am improving, less hacking and I am getting better sleep at night. My average pace was a little slow at 8:44 with my total time at 1:02:29.

Mason's Farwell went really well yesterday, he did a great job and I am so proud of him! He will make a great Missionary! We take him to the MTC on Wednesday at 1:10, my poor wife is a basket case!

See ya Tomorrow.

I ran in the afternoon today and I ran out  to Mini GU Corner, my legs were not feeling it today again. On mile 4 I was able to pick up the pace a little bit so I am counting that mile as a MP mile. My average pace was 8:47 and my total time was 53:18, my legs pretty much Bonked with about a mile to go. But at least I got er done!

See ya tomorrow.

Rest day today... We took my Stepson Mason to the MTC today as we were busy getting last minute items and getting him ready. I also found out that my niece's daughter Emma has passed away, a very sad day! She was such a cute kid and she will be greatly missed! So I didn't have alot of time to run and my Heart just wasn't in it today, I know no excuse is a good excuse but I'm sticking with it today!

Later.

Couldn't seem to find the time to run today, but I'll be at it again tomorrow morning... My Hearts been heavy the last few days, trying to get use to having Mason gone and then the loss of my little niece Emma it's been hard to get in the running mode but I will resume it tomorrow. I'm sure my Heart will still be heavy though!

See ya tomorrow.

I just wanted to do a nice little run this morning and get the legs shaken out as I haven't run for 2 days, so I decided to run up and over Harry's Hill and then down to the Stake Center and then home. I felt pretty good going up Harry's and then I just tried to keep an even Pace down through Harvest Ridge and back to the Stake Center to the canal, on the way down I had 2 MP pace miles and My average pace for the run was 8:31 with my total time at 49:22. My plan is to try and go 10 to 13 miles tomorrow and see how I feel, I would like to get in some nice longer runs between now and Painters Half in January, but I also don't want to over do it. It was 27 degrees this morning so on came the tights and a beanie for the first time this fall, burrrrrr.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past GU Corner and down into the river bottoms and then came back the same way, I slept in a little bit and didn't get out until after 8 o'clock. It was nippy but not to bad, I ran in tights and a long sleeve with a beanie and some gloves. My goal was to go at least 10 miles and maybe more if I felt like it, but my legs were feeling it by 10 miles so I quit there. I wanted to keep an 8:30 pace through out and I did that with a total time of 1:25:42, the last mile felt like a death march but before that I had some pretty steady miles with one MP Mile in the middle. Now it's off to rip all my flowers out for the winter as the cold weather has finally killed them, they look all black and ugly!

See ya Monday.
