Went out this morning and ran to the Dixie Center and back. The focus this morning was to keep running-no walking breaks. Started out slow and just tried to maintain then coming back tried to move the pace a little faster while maintaining my original goal of just run. 9:20/ 8:25/ 7:46/ 7;55/ 8:07/ 7:05 (average pace 8:15) These are slow splits but overall I felt good about them. The legs were not as trashed as I thought they might be after the run on Saturday. I was running on my new Nike Lunar Glides. I decided to try something totally different than I have been running on. So far I like the feel. They seem to be wide enough for my wide feet. They are light, 10oz. I am not sure on the cushion but so far not too bad. My feet felt like today and they usually don't on mondays.

I am not going to push it too hard this week. I am running Hobble Creek Half and would like to have fresh legs for that run. I will do more biking this week than running. I need to let my feet heal up. The blisters from hawaii are now to the 'new' skin. I found blisters under my big blisters. They should be good by Saturday.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK ALL!!

Went out for a nice bike ride since the weather is soooooo nice. I did my SunRiver- River Road loop. 18.60 miles in 1:14:45 average 14.90 mph (count as 6.20 running)

Couldn't go out for a run early so I went for a good long bike ride. I started out at 12:30 and went for 2:03.  (30.15 miles at 14.5mph.)

Ran to the Dixie Center and back. Saw Logan and Clyde out churning up the trail.

(8:06 pace) Nice and cool morning. I hope the temps stay like this for awile, it is so refreshing at least in the morning.

Hoping to get some biking miles in late morning. I am hoping that I can find some energy for Hobble Creek on Saturday. I am hoping and planning on 1:35........

Set a new personal record.

Will give full report later.

It is later...

For starters friday afternoon was a joke getting packets. Very unorganized and late. It took an hour to get the packet.

The race started 30 minutes late and it is already a late start scheduled for 7:15. So that means that it was hot at the end. I started off with the idea that I was going to kill the top. I soon decided to pull back and go with the body. I only looked at my Garmin at the 5k (20:29) and 10k (42:20). I was afraid that I was doing worse than expected and didn't want any self doubt talk come in. I did well till you get on the path. Rolling hills took some out of me. After mile 11 I started to pick the pace up and was actually feeling somewhat energized. The Jolly Rancher must have been the trick. It was fun actually passing some runners at the end of a race for once. Get to the finish...no shirts. They were out. I loved the course but not the organization....I will leave it at that.

Splits: 6:19/ 6:45/ 7:03/ 6:55/ 6:52/ 6:58/ 8:01/ 7:46/ 7:50/ 8:00/ 8:11/ 7:51/ 7:40/ 5:24
