I was able to get out the door early this morning and I ran the Payson Park loop and extended down into the park, some nice rollers going down and then coming back out. I was able to keep a pretty steady pace through out and my leg seemed to cooperate for the most part. My average pace was 8:25 with a total time of 1:00:19 my HR average was at 150, a little high but not to bad cuz most of my mile splits were sub 8:20... After the run I did my upper body weight training on the Bowflex and then finished up with some push-ups. It was a good day today and I was glad that I was able to get out in the morning, it was beautiful!

 

Eli Manning is a stud! Way to go Giants!!!!!

See ya tomorrow.

After woprk run today and I ran out to Mini GU and then back to the house, it was a nice day I was able to run in shorts and short sleeves, crazy weather. My hammy was a little tight on the way out but then was a little better on the way back to the house. My average pace was easy at 8:36 with my total time at 52:35, HR average was 143, a lot better. After the run I rolled my Hammy with the big foam roller and some stretching and now its time for some ice.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran a new route today as the other ones have become a little stale... So I will call this the High School loop which has a mix of downhill and up hill and flat, I just tried to keep the pace steady and not over do and I just drug the old hammy around. My average pace was 8:39 with my total time at 53:14, my HR average was 147. My Hammy was tolerable for the most part, I actually broke down and took some Ibuprofen and it seemed to take the edge off, I don't know if I'll do that very often simply cuz I hate taking any kind of medicine but after the run I stretched really good and then rolled it good with the big foam roller. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. It was a good day today and I'm glad I was able to get my butt out of bed and get-r-done!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran after work today, I was able to get out just after 4:30 or so and I ran out to mini gu and then back to the house. I ran 2 quarter mile pickups and the pace was 7:30 during those intervals, I took it pretty easy after those and just enjoyed the rest of the run... My average pace was 8:36 and my total time was  52:32 with my HR average at 145. After the run I did some leg lifts and then I rolled my leg really good, now it's time for some ice!

See ya tomorrow.

A nice easy jog this morning out towards Payson and back via canal road... My pace was real easy, average was 9:12 with my total time at 42:08 HR average was 134. My leg was a little bit of a bother this morning but I was able to get through it, after the run I stretched and then did my upper body weight training and then some push-ups. I rolled my leg and now I am icing, I'm hoping for a longer run tomorrow.

See ya later.

Up at six and then out the door, I ran out past Gu Corner and then down to the river bottoms and then back to the house the same way... My plan was do run 10 miles today and then see how I felt and if I felt okay then I would run a few more, My legs were getting tired towards the end but when I got to the stake center I stopped and stretched for a few minutes and then took a GU and it seemed to help. So I headed out to the barn and then back to tack on the last two miles, my pace was not real fast this morning but I have run a lot this week, at least a lot for me, so there wasn't much spring in my step. My average pace was 8:52 with a total time at 1:47:20 and my HR was average was at 143, I am pretty happy about this week and I hope I can keep things going this year and really have a good year for a change.

 

See ya Monday.
