I ran after work, I got out the door just after 4:30 and ran out to Mini GU and then back to the house, pace was easy and everything felt pretty good. My average pace was 8:43 with my total time at 53:12. Things haven't been going to good at work the last little while and I really don't know what the future brings but I guess I will just have to have a little faith, but I'm not real good at that right now... With whats going on there and then trying to run I just haven't been able to find the desire but maybe that's what I need to clear my head so I am going to try to get out the door more often and then see what happens.

See ya tomorrow.

Afternoon run again today and I ran in shorts but it was a little brisk and by the end I was wishing that I had worn my tights, but it was all good. I ran up to the Mailboxes and then down woodland hills road a little bit and then over to Harvest Ridge and then down to the stake center and then back to the house. My average pace was easy at 8:46 with my total time at 53:41, I went really easy on the uphill and downhill and just tried to enjoy the clean air which was so nice to breath! I felt good for the most part, a few aches and pains but nothing to bad. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups, so a pretty good day of training, at least for me anyway.

See ya tomorrow.

Nothing today... My wife has fallen ill, I guess I needed one more thing to stress me out! between work and now this running has taken a back seat... We thought she was getting better but now she is back down in bed, she has had a rough go of it the last week. Oh well, maybe I can get in a run tomorrow if she is feeling okay, I hate to leave her for very long.

See ya tomorrow.

I was able to get in a short run before I had to take my wife back to the doctor. My average pace was 8:27 with my total time at 34:32. I hope I can get in a long run tomorrow but I will have to wait and see how she is doing.

 

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out GU corner and stopped and stretched for a little bit and ran into my Brother Curtis and we talked for a bit. It was cold, we felt like a couple of popsicle's!!!After getting a drink I headed back to the house and once I was able to get out in the sun it felt so much better, so when I got back to house I headed out to the old barn and back.  My average pace was 8:33 with my total time at 1:26:34, once the sun came out I seemed to pick up the pace a little but it was still pretty easy. It was a nice Christmas Eve run, now its off to wind up some last minute shopping and call it good!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

See ya Monday.
