Why I Oughta!!!

Tempo run... Temperature was hot at 4am (80º F)  I wasn't exactly sure what kind of run I was going to have.  Total time = 57:05 (8:10 pace)

First 2 miles I took it easy with walk breaks every 4 minutes.  I was also going uphill the entire time so I could glide down for the next 5 miles.

Lap 1 = 9:31 uphill

Lap 2 = 9:01 Big hill - I ran it hard

Lap3 = 7:41 Down hill

Lap 4 = 7:30

Lap 5 = 7:40 A fox was sitting in the middle of the trail... we scared each other... almost kicked him

Lap 6 = 7:32

Lap 7 = 8:10 garmin died... cool down lap - may have ran it faster... All good!!

I just wanted an easy run today. I took a stop watch so I could run 4 min, and walk one min. Towards the last 1.5 miles I forgot to do my walks. I must have felt good or was lost in thought!? I ended up running 8:45 pace based on mileage and time (43:45). I really tried to run slower.

Cleaned the pool when I finished my run. The pool still looks bad... thank you St George dust storms!!

Easy on the treadmill, plus one mile walk. Legs are tired. Upper body strength training today too!

Did some more treadmill running.  I'm slowly getting the soreness out of me and I hope this is the worst day of my cold. I walked 3 miles before my run.  Skipped yoga so I could attend a running series seminar put on through the St George Marathon.  I am glad I went; the information was good and I won a pair of new running shoes at Steve Hoopers Running Store.  Thanks Steve!!!

I laid in bed fighting the urge not to run, and I should have listened.  I have been sick most of the week and I needed the rest.  But... by 8am I ran out the door to run in the nice warm St George temperature.  I did okay for the first 9 miles.  Coughed up a lot of junk along the way.  Then I just ran out of energy toward the end, but I finished!!  Laid in bed for the rest of the day.
