"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

Evening run today as I was to lazy to get out of bed this morning, I ran out towards payson and extended up the hill and then turned and headed for home my pace was just steady nothing to crow about. My quads feel so good but my darn calf's will not loosen up and they are week and tired all the time, I just don't get it! I have been doing some strengthening exercises for my quads and it seems to be paying off but I have also been doing some calf raises and its not paying off, so what the heck! It doesn't make any sense! My average pace for the run was 8:42 with my HR average at 147 and my total time was 44:53.

After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes and the RPM was above 90 to 95 with some resistance, after that I finished up with my upper body weight training and some push-ups.

See ya tomorrow.

Early morning run and I was way over dressed,  I can't figure out these December mornings! I ran out towards Mini GU corner but stopped a half mile short and then turned and headed for home, the pace was steady and slow and my calf's were about the same, week and sore. Average pace for the run was 8:52 with my HR average at 144, total time was 44:50 after the run I jumped on the elliptical at a very easy pace for 21 minutes and then I finished up with lower body strength training. I'm glad that I was able to get my butt out of bed this morning and get it done, its so much easier to get the workout done in the morning;)

Later.

Late afternoon run as I was lazy and didn't get out the door this morning, I wanted to do some hills so I ran the woodland hills mailbox route but I went easy on the downhill, I didn't want to over do it. My quads right now feel awesome as they didn't burn at all on the way up, usually they are burning big time. My calf's are still feeling it, very week and stiff, but I'll take what I can get, I was very pleased with this run. Average pace was 9:05, usually my average for this route is sub 8:30 but I went real easy on the downhill so hence the slower average, total time was 50:18 with my HR average at 148. My HR monitor is a little wacky, at the start of my run it was saying 175 which is way off so I think that it is a little in-accurate... Maybe I need a new battery or a new one all together;) After the run I ran 20 minutes on the elliptical at an easy pace and then I finished up with some upper body weight training and some push-ups. I wish I could figure what is going on with my calf's they will just not loosen up. Any advice out there in blogger land?  Feel free to share your thoughts.

see ya tomorrow.

To much work and to much with kids today so nothing.

Morning run today but I woke up late so I have to cut out the strength training, I ran out towards Payson via canal road and then back to the house. My Garmin shut off on the way back for some reason after about 5 minutes of running so my numbers are all messed up but I figure it was around 44:30 with an average pace of right around 8:45 or so. I would like to run 10 miles tomorrow but we will have to see, everything felt pretty good this morning just still a little niggle on both calf's but I'm getting use to that:)

See ya tomorrow.

Mid day run as I wasn't feeling really good and felt like I was coming down with a cold, but I went over and watched my daughter dance for drill at UVU and then I headed back home. I was feeling a little better so I headed out, my goal was 9 and maybe 10 but I wanted it to be up beat, at least up beat for me anyway. I headed to Mini GU corner and then back to the house and then I tacked on 4 miles out towards Payson and then back to the house. Everything felt pretty good until the last mile and then I really started to feel it, but the pace was a pretty good pace for me post injury wise so I am pleased. Average pace was 8:27 But most of it was sub 8:20 and then I slowed down the last couple, total time was 1:25:00 even and my HR average was at 148. I had an 8:09 and 8:15 in the middle and it felt pretty easy so this was a pretty positive run for me, now its back to the drill competition. No cross-training today the run was a good enough workout!

See ya Monday.
