I ran out towards Payson this morning, legs are still way tired from the half a week ago, pretty frustrating... Hopefully they will recover over the weekend. I will run again tomorrow but it will depend on the legs on how far I will go, it was sure another beautiful morning. It doesn't get any better than this, average pace was 8:46 with a total time of 35:44.

See ya tomorrow.

I only had time this morning for a short run, I ran out towards Mini Gu corner and then back to the house all via canal road. My legs are still way tired from the Half a week ago, hopefully next week they will do better. My average pace was slow at 9:05 with a total time of 45:44, I had some major stomach issues on the way back and with about  mile to go it got pretty damn ruff but I was able to make it back to the house, Barley. Now its up to the temple for Mason and Amelia's Wedding, crazy day.

See ya Monday

I ran the Payson Park Loop after work but I didn't extend down into the Park, it took about 3 miles before my legs felt like they were running. My average pace was 8:24 with a total time of 53:21, I was able to get into a pretty good rhythm on the way back. Its time to get back to being consistent again and see where I can take this this year. It was a great run and a beautiful day.

See ya tomorrow.

I got home from work around 4 and then planted some more flowers and then I headed out to Mini Gu Corner via canal road, I didn't feel real great on the way out but I felt a lot better on the way back to the house. My average pace 8:40 with a total time of 52:35, my last mile was an 8:00 mile so I am counting that as MP, it was a good way to power through the difficulty of the first half of the run. It will make mentally tough down the road, I was ready to pack it in after about a mile but I stayed with it.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Payson Park loop this morning and I went all the way to the park, my legs were pretty tired the whole way but I was able to get the run done.  It was probably the short turn around in runs from yesterday afternoon and then running this morning but I'm glad that I got her done so I don't have to try and work a run in later today. My average pace was 8:43 with a total time of 1:02:28, it was sure a perfect morning and its always a good time to run. I don't know when I will run tomorrow because I get to go and help with the Payson temple open house and my shift is from 7:30am to 11:30am, so I will probably run after that weather permitting...

See ya tomorrow.

I was up at 6 to talk to Cade and we ended up talking to him for 3 hours, which was great, and then I had no time to run because I had to get to work and  after work we went through the Payson Temple, which is beautiful by the way, so no run today.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini GFu Corner this morning, I felt so good today and my legs were feeling strong for a change. On the way back I ran into Kent wing and we ran for a bit, my last mile was 7:58 and it flet really easy.  My average pace was 8:24 with a total time of 51:39, its for days like these that I run and theres not a better feeling than feeling like i do right now... Well maybe talking to Abby over skype this past weekend is better but this is a close second.

See you tomorrow.

I ran the Payson Park Loop and extended down into the park, I didn't feel as good as yesterday but still okay. My average pace was 8:28 with a total time of 1:00:42, so not to bad, I just didn't feel as strong today as I did on yesterday but is all about the journey. It was a little breezy at times but other than that it was another beautiful morning and I'm so glad that I was able to get out there again.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past Mini Gu Corner via canal road and the stake center, it was a pretty ruff run and it was like a death march most of the way... I walked 9 holes of golf late last night at Hobble Creek so i guess that over did the old legs, but I think that's okay. My average pace was 9:06 with a total time of 55:11, not my best as of late but at least I was able to run and get it done for the day, it was another beautiful morning to boot!

See ya tomorrow.

I went and played 18 holes of golf this morning and walked the 18 holes and then when I returned home it seemed all right outside so I ran out to Mini Gu Corner via canal road, it wasn't to bad on the way out but on the way back it really started to rain. I decided to cut the run short because of the rain, my main goal was just to get a run in today. My average pace was 8:22 with a total time of 50:47, my last mile was 7:58 so I counted that as MP, I wasn't even trying to run that fast and the pace seemed easy. It must have been the rain and my mind was saying lets pick this up a little, I'm glad I decided to go out.

See ya Monday.

I ran out towards Payson on Canal road after dinner tonight, I should have waited longer cuz the food I had was pretty heavy in my stomach. But no worries Mondays are generally something easy and not a whole lot of mileage, my average pace was slow at 8:53 and a total time of 36:32.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past Mini Gu Corner via canal road this afternoon, I felt a lot better than yesterday but I was fighting some wind out there but all in all it was a good run. My average pace was 8:26 with a total time of 51:12, my last mile was right in the teeth of the head wind so that was my slowest mile.

See you tomorrow.

I ran down to the School to run my wife's girls and its just over a mile to the school, I ran a mile with them and then headed over to Elk Ridge drive and ran up that to canal road and then home. My mile down to the school was mostly downhill and I ran that mile in 7:56 so I'm counting that as MP, the rest of the run was kinda so, so. I felt okay going up Elk Ridge but I just didn't have the spring in my step that I have had as of late but that's okay it was still a good run. My average pace was 8:37 with a total time of 54:18, it was a good mixture of downhill and uphill so that was nice.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the big blue mailbox route along canal road, it keeps me on canal road the whole time with no hills. I felt pretty good, my legs were a little tight from the hill workout on Wednesday but that's how it should be. My average pace was steady at 8:32 with a total time of 56:40, the goal for tomorrow is 10 miles so I hope I can do it.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past Mini Gu corner and then up to Gu corner and then back to the house, after returning to the house I ran a couple more out to the old barn and back on canal road. I felt okay but my legs were pretty wasted by the last mile, I walked 18 holes of golf and ran yesterday so I must be tired from all the activity, it was still a good run though. My average pace 8:38 with a total time of 1:27:15, I will probably keep it at 10 to 12 miles on my long runs through the end of June and then I'll start to bump them up after that. I ran into my Brother Curtis and my nephew Bryan, it was good to see them out.

See ya Monday.

I ran the Payson Park loop and extended down into the park, I felt pretty good so I decided to do some speed work today. So on the way back I did a progression run with so pickups as well. The progression run went like this, 7:56 I had some up hill and downhill in this mile, 7:32 same here some up and downhill,  7:49 this was the pickups, so I would pick out a telephone pole and run that length and then run easy the same length I did 3 sets of these. Last mile I just took it easy. My average pace was 8:08 with a total time of 58:25 which is one of the faster times on this route so I was happy about that, it was a good mix of speed I think and I was pretty proud of the effort.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini Gu Corner via canal road, I felt pretty good considering the harder workout yesterday, the last mile was a little tough but that was because of the stomach issues and lets just say I barley made it home.

See ya tomorrow.

Hill day today, I ran to the base of Harry's Hill I then ran to the top of that and then over to Woodland Hills Drive and then back down to canal road and then home. It was a good mixture of uphill and downhill and I felt pretty good on the uphill but not so good on the downhill, but I'll get there. My average pace was 8:26 with a total time of 53:51, I had 2 MP miles with the down hill at 7:41, 7:32. it was a beautiful morning.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Gu corner and then back to the house, after getting back I ran the 2 mile loop out to the old barn and back.  First thing this morning I started running and I got to the Stake Center and I started to have stomach issues so I ran back home real quick and took care of business. I headed back out but my poor legs were just so tired this morning and it was like a death march the whole way. I must have ran to much yesterday and then I walked 18 holes of golf so I guess I'm to old to do that any more. I have to be smarter so I don't have these tough days like this, well at least not self inflicted anyway. My average pace was slow at 9:10 with a total time of 1:32:46, I'm still really proud of myself for gutting this one out, it was good for me mentally. I ran into my brother and we chatted a bit, he is ready for Utah Valley and he needs to really rock it!

See ya Monday.
