I ran in the morning for a change and it felt good to get out and not have to worry about getting it in later today. I ran 4.47 miles out towards Payson and back and then I jumped on the elliptical for 10 minutes of warm-up and then I did the contenders course between the two it was 30 minutes. Average pace for the run was 9:11 total time was 41:05, HR was a little better at 144 so its starting to come down, I finished up with some strength training on the upper body and then some push-ups. Hip felt pretty good but is still just a niggle of pain here and there so it seems to be on the mend;-) Now I'm off to work for a few hours.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran after work again today and it was a beautiful afternoon! I ran in shorts and a long-sleeve shirt, it was hard believing that it was January;-) I ran out to the base of Harry's Hill and then ran back to the house  and my legs were a little tired towards the end, or should I say they lacked in energy. My average pace was 8:47 and my HR average was 147, after the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes and kept the pace pretty easy, no resistance today, after that I did some stretching and rolled my hip.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out towards Harry's Hill but turned the easy way towards mini GU corner, pace was slow as there was a 40 mile an hour headwind, it was brutal. It was nice on the way back as it was on my back all the way to the house, average pace was 9:09 and the HR average was at 149 total time was 40:52. Hip felt okay and the groin was just a niggle of pain and my legs were pretty tired for some reason, but it was still good to get out, after getting home I jumped on the elliptical for a 10 minute warm-up and then I did the Contenders Course which takes 20 minutes for a total of 30 minutes.

 

See ya tomorrow.

Ran after work again today and it was a nice short day, pretty warm but the wind was a bit of a factor again but I got through it. 4 miles in 36:39, average pace was 9:09 my hip felt okay but my legs felt trashed, just a niggle of pain in my hip and the groin was just alright... I did an easy light workout on the elliptical for 20 minutes and then finished up with some weight training on my upper body and some stretching.

See yo tomorrow.

My daughter had an early morning Basketball game so I did my run and workout after that, I started out with a 4.45 mile run out to the base of Harry's Hill the roads we slick and snow packed but not to bad... Average pace was 9:12 and my HR average was 147, total time was 40:56 after the run I jumped on the elliptical for a 10 minute warm up and then I did the contenders course for 20 minutes and then I cooled down for another 4 minutes, and then I finished up with some stretching and some crunches and some push-ups. My hip felt okay and my groin was good but my legs have felt tired and wiped out for most of the week, I hope they have a little more life in them next week, I guess we will see on that. I hope those running Painters today had the weather hold so they could get it in, I know how it feels to get dumped on, ala 2008 SG Marathon, it was brutal;-)

See ya Monday.
