I finally was able to muster up a run and boy was it nice outside.. It feels like spring is on its way, at least it is teasing us anyway. I ran out to the old BYU farm via Salem Canal road I could not seem to keep my speed down, it wasn't like I was going fast but I felt like I was going faster than I should be. All my pace miles were right around 8:30 mile except for 2 of them but even those were still below a 9:00 minute mile. My average pace was 8:35 with my heart rate average at 151 and total time was at 1:00:10, my legs felt good from the 4 day layoff and my toe was negligible or not to bad, but we shall see how they are in the morning. I hope to be getting more sleep in the next couple of days, it has been a ruff couple of days, well four really tough days but life goes on...

I did have some good tunes this morning to help things along, Eagles, Peter Frampton, Billy Joel, REO SpeedWagon, Blood Sweat & Tears, Rascal Flatts, and last but not least, Journey...

Thank you boys!

See ya tomorrow

I ran the Salem Canal Road to Payson park out and back, I didn't quite make it to the park because of time restraints I was about a half of a mile short... My goal today was not to worry about my pace so much and just try and take it easy I wanted to see if my legs will recover going slower or if on the recovery days I need to go less miles. My toe was really sore last night so I iced it and this morning it didn't bother me but I am having a hard time trying to get the swelling out and it is sore to touch, so I don't know what is up with it all I know is it isn't broken. Average pace was 9:21 Heart rate average was at 144 which doesn't seem right I might need to change my battery, and total time was 56:29.

Not much else to add, kind of boring I know but such is life.

I felt really good today, and it might be that I have some motivation now that I've entered the strider's 1/2 Marathon... My legs felt good and my toe felt good and I wanted to see if I could hold a faster pace through the whole run, I wanted my average pace to be about a minute off my marathon pace... I started off a little quicker than I wanted to but I felt strong and just progressed form there, each pace a little faster and then try to hold that pace till the end. I ran to Payson Park out and back and it has some rolling hills in it so it is a little challenging my splits went as follows; 8:38(139), 8:14(148), 8:21(153) hills start. 8:12(147), 8:07(156), 7:55(159), 7:37(164), .22(701)... Average pace was 8:09 with my heart rate at 152 total time was 57:09 this is a PR for this course, with is pretty good considering the rolling hills which don't start until you are about 2.3 miles into the run.

I don't know how I will feel tomorrow for my long run but I am hoping I won't be spent, but if I am I will hold on to today's run to get me through!!!

PM- I am coming down with a cold, I have felt it coming on all day long... AHH. I am hoping that I will be able to get some miles in tomorrow but that depends on how I am feeling. I am popping vitamin C like its candy hoping to stave it off but the way my lucks been going lately, who knows!!!

What a brutal night. I have never had anything hit so fast! Needles to say there will be now running today, my throat hurts so bad and I have no energy, my brother-in-law the doctor says it sounds like strep... So I will be getting on and antibiotic ASAP, I'm going back to bed....
