Summit junkie!

Our hike to Kings was on again, off again all day and we finally decided to cancel it because of the weather. We will try again next Monday. I got in 4 miles after I got the kids to bed. That seems to be the routine lately, and it wasn't the way I wanted to start the week.

Had a very nice run tonight. The weather was perfect and I really enjoyed it. My right ankle and my left arch started to get a little sore on the 5th mile, but I don't think it is anything serious. I ran a 3 mile loop in my neighborhood twice and I think the first loop was a lot faster. My total time was 45 minutes, but I have no idea what my splits were.

Such a busy day. worked late, and had 3 soccer games, including one I coached to attend. I didn't even have a chance to run until after 10:00. I hate running that late, so I did 40 minutes on the elliptical just to blow off some steam. Terrible week so far.

Went to bed at 1:00 am and was up at 5:30 so I could hit the gym because I'm taking my wife out for her birthday tonight, and I wanted to get in a workout. I lifted for 45 minutes (upper body/core). I didn't want to run too much because I am doing a long run down Little Cottonwood tomorrow, so I ran one mile at a fast pace and I felt like crap. I never feel good running after I lift and I felt nauseated for the next few hours. I'm tired, but I think a 32 ounce Diet Coke should take it all away.

Mile time: 6:37

Ran down Little Cottonwood Canyon this morning. It was sooo much fun! The weather was perfect and it was very enjoyable. When we got to the bottom we did 5 more miles. It was a great way to finish off an average week.

My ITB was getting a little sore at the end and I am a little worried about it on the full marathon in two weeks. Cardio wise I felt great the whole day and could have done a lot more.

Total time: 2:03
