Started the day with P90X Chest, Shoulders , & Triceps and ab ripperx.  Felt good!!

After work, I did a Brick Workout of run, bike, run, and swim.

Ran (5.6 mile) from home to spin class.  Mile Splits: 8:03, 8:14, 7:58, 7:54, 7:37, and 7:28(0.6 mile). (7:55 average pace)  I started out fast and just figured I was going to run this speed today.  This should be my normal/easy pace now!!

I was late to spin class.  I should have ran faster so I can make these classes on time.  I biked 30 minutes for 8 miles, according to the bike monitor.

After spin, I ran (4.5 mile) to the pool, and swam 1 mile (34 min).  Mile Splits: 8:07, 7:53, 7:38, 7:04, and 7:48(0.5). (7:42 average pace)  I picked up Aaron at the rec ctr and he ran with me to the pool.  He was trying to make me pick it up.  Aaron is too fast for me, and too much uphill on both run today!!

Muscles are tight today!!! I did get in P90X this morning of Back & Biceps followed by ab ripperx. Cathy and I went to sushi for lunch which was so awesome!! After work I ran up the virgin river trail to river road, up river road to 100 south, down to 200 east and over to the rec center.  The first 2 miles were hard with the tightness and all.  The rest of the run felt great.  I just took it easy today!

Mile Splits: 9:21, 9:03, 8:52, 8:38, 8:50, 8:50, 8:39, 8:25, and 7:57(0.2 mile)

For lunch, I did a recovery run from yesterdays speedwork.  I ran the first mile with my younger kids, Haylee, Anna, & Joseph.  They really wanted to go out running with me.  I was muscle sore and it wasn't until the 4th mile that I finally felt comfortable running.  Overall, I hope this loosens me up for tomorrows run! Average pace = 8:42

I ran up brigham road to river road, up river road to riverside drive, picked up the virgin river trail at the dixie center, and ran home along the virgin river. First 4 miles was hilly!! Very nice day today. I saw scott hughes race past me towards the end of my run. He was moving fast!!

Mile Splits: 8:50, 8:44, 8:18, 7:52, 7:47, 7:48, 7:30, 7:41, 7:36, 7:24, 7:55

Right after I got home I drank a little and had a cheese stick, Haylee and Joseph wanted to do a run.  We did 1 mile around the block.  When we hit a down hill, joseph had to tell us we were 'going down the hell'.  He says many funny things like asscream for ice cream and he calls our kiddy pool the titty pool. 

Then Hyrum, Elijah and I did a 5 mile run in 49 minutes. Elijag did another 5 so he could have 10 miles for the day.
