I ran out to Mini Gu Corner and then realized it was the Spanish Fork Half this morning so I turned and headed back towards Harry's hill, but before I went up it I did a loop around Pretty Little Hill and then waited for the leaders to come by. It looked like Carl Hansen was out in front and Tyler was pacing him and they were flying, I hope that Carl was able to win it he was sure kicking some butt. After watching for a minute I ran into my friend Jeff and we ran up over Harry's and then down to the stake center and then home, it was nice to run with him and catch up. My legs by the end were pretty much toast and hurting pretty bad, I stretched and then took Ethan to Flag football practice and then came home and did 15 minutes on the elliptical and then 15 minutes on the treadmill, and then another 15 minutes on the elliptical... I ran 1.70 miles in the 15 minutes on the treadmill and then I had to go and pick up Ethan, and then after that I went down and ran another 15 minutes on the treadmill to finish up. So total miles on the treadmill were 3.25 and then I ran the 10.25 miles out on the road and then the 30 minutes on the elliptical. My legs felt so much better on the treadmill and the elliptical I was pushing it the whole 30 minutes on each, so a pretty good workout and I'm pooped. Hip and groin were a bother but once I got on the elliptical  they seemed to do better, I don't know maybe I can run half of SG out on the road and then finish up on a treadmill, I don't think so Clay!!!

Average pace for the outside miles was 9:00, HR average was 145, total time was 1:32:12 and then another hours worth of the treadmill and elliptical.

See ya Monday.

Brent-I was in some pain on Sunday and then today (Monday) I could only run 2 miles but once I did the elliptical for 40 minutes the hip felt good enough to run a couple of miles on the treadmill.... Very frustrating;-(
