On the road to BOSTON!

I took a few days off to let the hip get feeling better. It feels pretty good today. Just a little dore after my run. I ran the first part of the Painter's Half. Felt good today. I ran 6 miles with an average pace of 7:54. When I ran this last week I had an average pace of 8:20.

What a beautiful day....I hopw we have a lot more of these days ahead of us!!!!!

This morning was another beautiful one. I ran the second half of the Painters course. This portion runs from DC on the path to Bloomington turning right onto Bloomington Drive and making the loop and back to the DC. This portion has more uphill than the first half. My average pace was 8:07 for the run. Combining the 2 runs would give me 1:45. Based on that time I am going to shoot hard to hit under 1:40. This is a good hard goal to keep me going when it gets cold outside.......

Another great day! I took my run into town by way of the bike path to DC then followed the first 2 miles of the painters course then went up to the office complex by Applebee's. I met a client for awhile then ran down River road and hooked up on the bike path again at Riverside road and then went bact to the DC then on to home. 8:14 average pace. 7:57/ 7:36/ 8:00/ 8:11/ 8:54/ 9:21 up hill/ 7:04/ 7:34/ 8:30/ 8:54/ 8:41/ 8:36

Didn't feel much like running but did anyway. I am fasting for a friend of mine today that is in surgery for a terrible leg break just below the knee. He had to go to Salt Lake for the surgery because it was so bad and that specialist said this was the worst he had seen. He was told that he ay never bend his leg again...he is a very active outdoors person...that sucks!

I just couldn't get it going at all today...average pace 9:10.

Beautiful day though!!!!!

I ran from home to the Running Store by way of Dixie Drive and Sunset Blvd then down Bluff to the Dixie Center then home on the bike path. The day I signed up to run the St. George marathon I walked/ran this same course without the additional section to the running store. It took me just under 4 hours. Today I ran it slow and finished in 2:02. Not very fast but it felt good to enjoy the run, not pushing for any time goals and halfing my original time.

Another beautiful day in paradise!!!!!
