My legs are sooooo sore from Saturdays race that I almost can't walk let alone run but I was able to complete a 6 miler at a very very easy pace! I ran out towards Payson Park but stopped about a half mile short as to cut out the rolling hills, next week I will extend out to the park, that will be my Monday run from here on out... Like I said the pace was very slow and I took a couple of little walking breaks, my average pace was 9:13 with my HR at  133, total time was 55:49. I rolled my legs with the stick last night but it didn't seem to help I am hoping that as the week goes on they will get better, at least I hope anyway. I finished up with some upper body weight training on the Bowflex, I am on my second week of the hundred push-up challenge, I will start my second week tomorrow.

See ya tomorrow.

Legs are still really sore and stiff, but some improvement from yesterday;-) I still kept the pace slow, but a little faster than yesterday my total time was 53:05 and my average pace was 8:40 something, I'm at work so I don't have all the details... My PF was a little more noticable today so I iced really well when I finished, I hope I can keep that at bay,  I don't want any set backs at this point;-)

 

See ya tomorrow.

I ran 3 miles out towards Payson via canal road, and then I had to be back at the house to help my daughter Abby get ready for young women's camp, ran into Mac on this first leg and she was doing 13 miles, amazing! I had to fight just to get 6 miles in, crazy! I was feeling really sluggish legs are still dead, after that I went another 3miles out towards the stake center and then back to my house just in time to get Abby over to the church. My little girl is growing up! She's 15 and full of attitude, but she makes me laugh I am so glad I get to be apart of her every day life, she's such a good kid!!! My average pace was 9:10, very slow like I said, HR average was 136 total time was 55:55... I will probably run tomorrow and then depending on how I feel I might take Friday off, I am just dead big time! No strength training today as I am out of time and need to get going, see ya tomorrow.

No running today. I decided to take the day off and give my legs a break, they just haven't recovered very good from the race on Saturday,  I'll be back at it again tomorrow;-)

See ya later.

Back at it today. Legs did feel alittle better today but by the last one they were starting to feel it. My average pace was a little better today as well 8:26 with some 8:10's in the middle total time was 51:18 and my HR average was at 142. I have some pain in my IT band on the right leg, I seem to feel it more when I'm going down hill than up and when I'm running on the flat, thats all I need is to start fighting that! I iced really good when I finished along with my left foot and the PF, yes I'm still fighting that as well!!! I'm not complaining mind you considering what is happening to Michelle I should be thankful that I am only dealing with these small issues as apposed to what she is going through... Well today is the Doug Oldroyd Memorial tournament for my friend that died of colon cancer a few years ago and then on the weekend is the Art City Am, after this weekend I start to slow down on my golf, it kind of sucks because I haven't really played that much this year, oh well... No strength training I am running out of time again so I need to get going, I will get after it next week.

See ya tomorrow.

I woke up late mainly because I didn't get much sleep last night as my Stepson has the Swine Flu!!! He is really sick and so we were up with him most of the night, we have him on the tamiflu, or what ever, and we are all on it to, I feel pretty bad for him... I ran out towards GU corner and ran upon Mac and Josse and spooked them pretty good, it was funny, I ran with them for a few miles and then hooked with my brother on the way back. M IT band started to hurt on the way back and so I had to start walking some, so the last 3 miles I had to run and then walk just to get home! I am icing it as I write this and am feeling just a little ticked off, I'm hoping that I will not be held back by this DARN thing. Does anybody have any good advice on what to do, if you do then let me know;-)

See ya.
