St. George Running Center - Run For Life.

AM - Dino park and back. Solid pace. Felt pretty good but ended up seeing a few people I new and stopped and talked.  Temps were down a bit but still soaking wet at the end due to the humidity. Hips and lower back still bugg'n a bit.  Planning on spending some time tonight working them out. 15 miles.

PM - Went out - no watch and just got another 5 miles done. Slow and Easy.

AM - Track workout this morning. Ran to the track from home and back. Really tired this morning. Didn't sleep quite at well as I would have liked.  I think it could have been the strassburg sock I was wearing.  At the start of the workout I had a hard time getting going, then I started sweating like a mad man.  I never really felt like I was in any type of groove at all. Here's my splits:

72, 74, 74, 74, 74, 72, 71, 72, 73, 73, 73, 74, 75, 75, 74, 69

Last year's times 8/6/2013:

73, 73, 72, 72, 72, 72, 71, 71, 72, 72, 73, 72, 70

Not really where I would like to be and slower than last year but I did the workout and got it done. I think if I had someone a bit closer to my speed on the track I might be able to get them down a couple more seconds per lap. 15 miles total.

AM - 5 miles. Bloomington loop extended. No watch.

PM - I was planning on going out again.  After finishing up the store late I just couldn't get myself back out. I just wanted to stay home with the family. Pretty emotionally wiped after going to the funural for Terry Lusk.  It's just sad stuff.

AM - Thurs morning tempo with the club. Ran down from the house to get some extra miles in. Warm-up. Wasn't sure if I was going to do 5-6 miles of tempo. Asked Clyde if he wanted to go 6 and didn't get a commit so, I figured I would just shoot for 5 (thank goodness).  Haven't felt amazing this week so I wasn't too pumped for the run. 

Since Clyde showed, I ended up taking off a bit quicker the first mile than I normally do.  I usually keep it at  5:50-6:00 pace.  I also was wearing my Garmin 910XT and I can never get an acurate read on my pace compared to my Garmin 250.  The tempo ended up being decent - no big breakthrough. A little bit faster the last mile. Here's the spilts

5:41, 5:39, 5:35, 5:43, 5:28

Last tempo 7/17:

5:57, 5:39, 5:36, 5:42, 5:48

Clyde ran home right after and I cooled down with some of the group then ran home. 15 miles.

AM - met up with the club to run from veyo, gunlocks, Irvin's. started off with Mike, Hayden and Clyde. Nice rain for the first 7 miles with lightning. Was planning on taking it out steady then do a progression run. By the time I hit 15-17 my SI joint was all looked up and I didn't have any power. Not fun and the pace really suffered. Ended up with 6:14 ave for the twenty. I also need more down hill training. The quads weren't the greatest as well. We got it done. 20 miles.
