I ran out towards Payson and extended up the hill into Payson all via canal road, I didn't feel real great but I was able to keep my average pace under 9 minutes but it was a chore... My average pace was 8:57 with a total time of 46:14, I did some upper body weight training and then finished up with some push-ups I also worked on my a core a little bit. Well, Ethan is finished with XC. He ran Varsity at region and ran a 17:10 but he got bumped out of the top 7 on the team for state so he is done racing for this year. he will continue to run with the team then go to California and run a race with the team and then he will start getting ready for soccer in the spring. He had another tough year in XC just can't seem to break through and get under 17 minutes, oh well I guess he'll have to try for next year. I sure am proud of him for his hard work and dedication, good job.

I was finally able to get in another run this week, I have been pretty darn lazy and disappointed in myself but I was able to get out this morning and what a nice morning it was! I ran out to Mini GU Corner via canal road and after I got warmed up I tried to finish the end of each mile fast and I seemed to do pretty good. I didn't feel real great at times but I was able to get it done, I just don't feel loose at all very tight and uncomfortable every where. My average pace was pretty respectable, at least for me, at 8:34 with a total time of 52:07... Me and my wife are heading to Hawaii tomorrow for our 10 year anniversary and I will run while I'm there.

See ya Monday.
