On the road to BOSTON!

I took a late morning run up into town to watch some of the Ironman. Those guys and gals are true studs! Watched the pro men come inoff the bike ride and transition to running...very impressive. I then ran back home, showered and went back to watch the leaders come in. I am very impresses with a 8:40:00 time +- for the winner, he ran a 6:45 pace for the marathon on a difficult course.

If I could only swim I would give it a try in a couple of years......

Well I took a few days off. Body not doing well...mostly the left leg. I went in Monday and had it scrapped again and it seems to be making progress. Tuesday I went in for a 60 minute massage on the legs and that worked out some problems too. So today I just wanted to have a painless slow run. I went out and ran Bloomington Drive to the west and then over Tonaquint to the Dixie Center then over the river and down Sugar Leo to home. I have to say this was a great slow painless run. I am tired but the leg feels good! maybe one more scrap and massage ans I will be set. 8:25 pace

Ran from Springdale to LaVerkin. Tough run with a cold.....8:44 pace

Easy run around the block. Been down with a cold, trying to get well before the marathon on Saturday. (7:59 pace)

Ran the Ogden marathon this morning. Will post the ugly splits later. 4:00

3 slow jog/ speed walk miles. Still very tired from the marathon. Going in for a massage

6 1/2 miles running @ 8:45 pace and 3 1/2 miles of speed walking. A little more energy today but still lacking in that department. Got a bit warm too, out till 1pm

Took a run into the car dealership to pick up my car. They needed more time so I went for a couple more miles. The first 3 were rather slow- 8:55 pace, the  last two were a bi8t faster 7:47 and 7:17, overall I felt better than yesterday so I am hoping that the energy levels wil continue to go up each day!

Went out with Bill and Mike. We went out on Utah Hill and ran back to Mike's home. I dropped off early, they were going for 20. Windy morning and warm. Started out with a great tail wind. Then after about 3 mile it turned and was pushing me back up the hill...well not really but it was fierce. Didn't push anything too much just wanting to get the miles in. After about 6-7 miles I had a nice 2.5 mile push dropping the pace to somewhere around 6:30 to 7:00. Just going by the feel because I left the garmin at home. Overall 2 hour and 1 minute run, 8:35 pace.

An easy run on Bloomington Drive  8:12 average pace

Easy 14 mile run over to SunRiver then over the new highway to River Road and loop to home. Approx 8:30 pace

6 easy miles trying to just get time on the feet and not push the calf too much. 8:29 pace
