I ran my Payson route this morning, started out with a pretty good head wind and then by the time I made my turn to head back to the house the wind had died down, just my luck... My legs were pretty trashed from Saturdays run, my calfs were extremely sore and stiff, I hope they get loosened up by Saturday. I will take it pretty easy for the rest of the week and just do some base mileage and get ready to get through Saturday. My average pace was slow today at 9:22 and my HR was at 138 with my total time at 48:16, no shooting stars this morning. I haven't seen any for along time, oh well winter is on the way out now anyway...

See you Tomorrow.

Thanks Jeff. I'm running the Spectrum 10K this Saturday in St. George. mainly I just need to complete it as it is one of my races for the runners series, I will be taking it easy the whoooole way;-)I will then try and get ready for the Hurricane Half in May, I'm cautiously optimistic about my groin;-)

Clay my wife will be running that race with a bunch of girls from Salem. This is a girls only trip! I have to go down in May and run a half for my last race.. You will do great, I would go out easy and see how you feel and if your legs feel good maybe pick up the pace. Good luck and think happy healthy thoughts!
