It was a pretty bad week this week for my running, I have been working on my Christmas displat and then just regular work have kept me pretty busy. I found some time this morning and I ran out to the T in the road pass the stake center, I had to run back tio the house in the first mile because of stomach issues and so that mile was run walk and pretty slow. But everything else was sub 9's,  I just wanted to get something done today... I finshed up with some upper body and lower body weight training.

See ya Monday.

My first run in a while,  my back has been pretty wrenched out so I did what I could today but it was slow going. I ran out past the Stake Center and toward Mini Gu and then back to the house, my back felt a little better after a few miles. My average pace was slow at 9:25 with a total time of 38:17, like I said it was slow go. I have to find a way to be more consistent, its been a real struggle as of late.

See ya tomorrow.

I've been relegated to the elliptical as I have wrenched my back and it is still bothering me pretty good, I ran 30 minutes on the elliptical and then finished up with some leg presses and some push-ups. At least its something. I will probably do another 30 minutes this evening, I can only do 30 minutes intervals.

See you Later.

I ran out to Mini Gu and then back to the house via canal road, I felt pretty good considering that I haven't been running much over the last little bit. My back was marginal at best and I had to shorten my stride some but other than that it was all right. My average pace was 9:04 with a total time of 54:55, I finished up with some upper body weight training and some lower body weight training and then some push-ups. It was a great workout and I am thankful that I was able to do something today.

See ya Monday

I ran out to Mini Gu Corner and then back to the house via canal road, I felt okay considering my lack of motivation... My average pace was 8:49 with a total time of 53:30, I really need to get back to where I am running at least 4 days a week. Its just been hard for me to get out the door this whole year, I'm not sure why but it just has. Time to make some changes and find a plan.

See you tomorrow.

I ran the Big Blue mailbox route which takes me toward Payson via canal road and then back to the house the same way, my legs were pretty tired especially running two days in a row! My average pace was slower today at 9:14 with a total time of 43:25, other than the slower pace and my legs being tired it was a pretty good run and a beautiful morning. I finished up with some upper body weight training and some push-ups. Lets shoot for 3 days in a row tomorrow.

See you tomorrow

I ran out to Mini Gu Corner and then back to the house all via canal road, It was windy at times and the old legs were pretty tired from 3 days in a row of running. My average pace was 9:15 with a total time of 56:06, I finished up with some lower body weight training... It was a pretty good week for me and I'm glad I was a little more consistant, If I could just add in a day or two then I could start getting some fitness in again, Thats the goal. I will have to go less miles on some of those days as I just don't have the fitness level to go the 6 miles everyday, I will have to work up to that over the next few months.

See ya Monday
