On the road to BOSTON!

Bloomington-D/C loop. 6.40 miles very slow and labored. This was a recovery run after Saturday's run. I could never get the legs going this morning, very heavy and calves were sore. Before I went out I felt great no pain at all but when I started running I felt it. I suppose the run on Saturday was a better workout than I had thought. (9:54 pace) Still getting used to the new orthotics, that could have something to do with the labored running.

Took a break for an hour then did a nice bike ride. I went out to SunRiver by way of the new bike path then over across I-15 to the new highway to River Road. Then up River Road to the Post Office on to the bike path to the Dixie Center then home. 18.60 miles counting as 6.20 (14.0 mph). I really needed the ride it helped then legs get woken up.

Decided to lay off running today. I feel like I need a break, at least that what my body is telling me. I did go out for a bike ride and pushed a little harder than usual. I went on the Bloomington path to River Road then to the Bloomington Hills path to Flying J then home. 10.55 miles at 15.1 mph

2 miles warming up at the top of Snow Canyon. Met up with Mike, Steve, Bill and Clyde. They had come up Snow Canyon. Ran with Mike for the first 2 or 3 miles then he took off. Ended up with Steve for the rest of the run..THANKS! Had my first crash and burn. Hit the edge of the road and went all the way down. Road rash on the palms and the side of my right leg and my right hip. Boy the was fun! Felt good about the run although I was pretty tired the last two miles. 9.61 miles @ 7:42 pace.

The orthotics are feeling better with each run...hoping they fix my foot problems...fingers crossed!

7:46/ 7:41/ 8:18/ 7:14/ 7:47 ( crash & burn )/ 7:25/ 6:54(trying to catch mike)/ 7:29/ 8:40/ 7:56

Took a breakfast break and finished the exersize portion of my day. I went for a 6 mile bike ride pushing it pretty hard. That is about all my road rash hand could handle for the day (count as 2.00)

Taking a break today. After the crash yesterday I am a bit sore. Going for a bike ride later to loosen up.

I just registered for the Huntsman Senior Games! I am going to attempt to run the half marathon 5 days after the St George marathon....well at least the course they run is pretty. That is about all I am expecting to do...enjoy the scenery and watch all the old guys run by me. Does that officially make me old???? Some times I wonder what the crap I am doing trying to make running my preferred sport instead of the couch.

Went out late morning for a nice bike ride. Went out the bike path to Washington and that took 32:51, then coming back I started pushing a little harder to 'negative split'. I made it back @ 59:30. Ye Ha. 15 miles (counting 5.00)

Went out for a slow run (Tonaquint-Dixie Center loop) It was a slow run. 9:28 pace. Body was kind of sore still from the fall on Wednesday. Left foot was tender on the outside but after 3 miles I rubbed it down and it did better after that.

Tomorrow morning is going to be interesting. I am going to run the Pine Valley 5k. Hopefully I can wake up and get the legs going. I then plan on running down from Pine valley to Veyo to get some good downhill running in to help prepare for Hobble Creek next week. That run would extend the 5k plus warm up another approx. 15 miles, should be a good workout. Just need to figure out a way to get the car parked at Veyo and get a ride to Pine valley from there......

Ran the Pine Valley 5k this morning. This is run on a dirt road so it is a slow course. I won my age group so that is all that counts. I then ran down to Central and then to Veyo. I was dead on my feet and a friend picked me up a couple miles before Veyo. Very tired legs! Beautiful Day!!

Tacked on a 6 mile bike ride to loosen the legs up...its hot!(count as 2)
