Wanted to get in some decent miles to start, but I was feeling tired after 10k (fighting a bit of a cold as is my family) so I just kicked it back realizing I wanted to run about 3 hours, so I figured 23 would do (prior to the run I was going to do 24 but thought I better cut it a bit shorter).  I hate headwinds, I know it is partly just a mental thing.

 1) 6:50 (don't know why I started so fast up the very steep hill out of my street); 2) 6:34; 3) 6:41; 4) 6:47 5) 6:50; 6) 6:55; 7) 7:13 from here I diverted off of 1300 W. down to the JRP; 8) 7:40; 9) 7:38; 10) 7:33; 11) 8:04; 12) 7:29; 13) 7:50; 14) 7:47; 15) 7:41; 16) 8:12 up Winchester back to 1300 W.; 17) 7:52 major headwind from hear all the way home; 18) 7:59; 19) 8:29; 20) 8:59 uphill and extra-terrible headwind; 21) 7:57; 22) 8:39 including drink; 23) 7:08 finally decided to kick it in gear after slow first 1/3 of this mile.   2:54:58  avg 7:36, avg HR 151.

Now I need to cook dinner.

Big nada, today.  Got stuck doing other stuff tonight, so I'll just go to bed.

Had good intentions of working out this morning, but stayed in bed.

Did manage to do some pushups.

Snuck in a few more baby pushups after lunch.

 

Tonight finally got in 9 equivalent on the elliptical while watching shows including Survivor Samoa.

Let's just say this guy is one bad dude (and looks better clothed than in his underwear).

Today I had a little scare, after running 5 at 8:30, random incline to 4.3% on the treadmill, I stepped off to get a drink of water before I was going to do 9 quicker downhill miles.  When I stepped back on the treadmill my right foot (which is not the foot that was hurt earlier this year) just got a sharp pain. It hurt to put pressure on and I was hardly able to walk.  So, I had to quit my workout. I think it was just a pinched nerve or something because by now everything seems alright.

Tomorrow I coach my girl's soccer team.  I feel bad, last week they won 15-1, despite my efforts to keep the score down.  (You just can't tell 9 year-old girls not to score, and when I'd substitute girls to different positions it just meant that different girls would just score.)  I was sneaky in calling over two of my defenders for a substitution (the league allows substitutions on the fly so) which subtly enabled the other team to score.

Today was the annual neighborhood Tithing Hill 5K.  Last year I took second, and took second again this year.  However, this year I took second to the high school cross country team runner.  More importantly, I finally beat my neighborhood running arch nemesis, even though he took us both out way too fast.  Last year he gapped me early, and I was not going to let that happen this year.  

Course is an out and back along the Jordar River Parkway.  Mile 1, into brisk head wind 5:40.  2nd mile paid for too fast a start 6:20.  Got passed by cross country kid right at start of last mile, which was good timing for him since I was in no mood to go with him.  3rd mile 6:03.  Last .1, 32 seconds.

So, PR and almost one minute improvement from last year, even with the drag of my mullet.

 Wore my actual soccer uniform from 1987:

This face says: I got beat by the 17-year-old, but I beat my 42-year-old arch-nemesis.

 

Number 9 and the winner:

Sans mullet, in that classic soccer photo crouch:

And my youngest son got duded up on his own for the event.  Wonder where he gets it from?

2.5 mile warm up.   .5 cooldown.
