I ran after work today and I ran out to Payson Park and back all via canal road, it was sure nice out and I was a bit over dressed but I still ran in shorts. I felt pretty good today and the pace seemed pretty easy for the most part, average pace was 8:24 with a total time of 1:00:17, I also felt pretty good on the rollers too so that is a good sign. After the run I did my upper body weight training and then finished up with some push-up, it was a good start to the week.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran after work and was able to get out just before 5pm and I ran out to Mini GU and then  back to the house all via canal road, the legs were not as chipper today but they did feel better towards the end of the run which is a good sign. Average pace was slower at 8:45 with a total time 53:19, I finished up with some lower body weight training just the usual; Squats, one legged squats and some leg raises and some calf raises.

My son Ethan made the JV varsity squad for soccer as a freshman today!!! I am so proud of him he has worked his guts out the last 5 or 6 years getting ready for this one day and it paid off!!!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran 5 miles on my own and then My niece and my nephew and my daughter wanted to go for a run so I ran 2 miles with them. The 2.06 miles with them we ran in 18:28 with an 8:59 average and then the 5.17 miles on my own was 46:03 and an average pace of 8:53... I didn't feel real great on the first 5 miles but I did feel better on the 2 miles that I ran with them, pace was slow on both runs for sure.

See ya tomorrow.

I was able to get out the door this morning at around 8:30 and I headed out past Mini Gu and then out past GU and then ran back to the house all via canal road. I felt okay, but not great, I think the increase in mileage probably was taking its tole... I really need to get at it again, I have to start commiting to it every day and not find excuses not to run, I did better this week but I really need to get my butt out of the bed in the morning and get to it!!! Its been pure laziness and feeling sorry for myself and it has to stop. After my run I ran with the kids and the club for a few miles, we had a few more runners with us and it was pretty fun and they are all doing great, I'm really proud of their commitment and its helping me to re-dedicate myself. My average pace was 8:44 with a total time of 1:28:44, I also ran into simmbad and he is looking good its the only time that we really ever get to catch up as brothers, he's very dedicated.

See ya Monday.
