I ran out towards Payson via canal road, I went very slow as my foot was pretty sore it felt better as the run went on but then by the end it was really getting sore... I iced it for about 10 minutes when I got home and then did some calf stretching to try and help it, pretty disheartening to still be dealing with this darn thing, oh well. My average pace was very slow 9:08 with my heart rate at 136 and total time was 37:18, also no shooting stars again this morning it seems like ever since the time changed they have been less frequent. Maybe I will have to start running a little earlier, then again maybe not... I finished up with my standard upper body workout on the bowflex low weight with high reps, one set of each exercise.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out towards mini GU corner but stopped once I reached my 2 mile mark and then did a walk break for a minute and then headed back for the house. My foot felt good going out but on the way back it started to get sore, iced when I finished and then went and did my lower body weight training on the Bowflex and then finished up with some core training and push-ups... My average pace was 8:55 and my heart rate average was 138 with my total time at 36:15. I felt pretty good this morning but I want to be able to run a little farther but I can't right now, I need to be patient until I get this darn foot feeling better! I ran into Michelle towards the end of my run and she seemed to be doing really well, ah to be young again someone has to be old so it just as well be me!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran up Loafer again and ran the same route as last time, but when I get to the stop sign I turn left and head towards the mail boxes... My foot was very, very, sore from the get go, in fact I almost turned back about a block or two into the run but I couldn't make myself stop, I just told myself to suck it up and stay with it. When I finished I stretched and iced but right now it is extremely sore, so I don't know what to do! I will see how it goes in the morning and then go from there. My average pace was 9:10 with my total time at 37:35, my heart rate average was at 142... I wish this darn thing would get better, I really feel like I could get some good training in if I could just get past it,  oh well.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Mini GU corner route except I stop about a mile short as I am still on my reduced mileage, my foot felt surprisingly better this morning. It was still there but alot more tolerable than yesterday and the soreness that I usually have after I run seems to be less, but I will see how the day goes. My average pace was 8:54 and my total time was 36:37, heart rate was around 142. I went fairly easy today too except for that first mile it was around an 8:30 mile so I had to back off a bit. I finished off with some lower body weight training on the Bowflex and then my standard core training on the rubber ball and then I finished that up with some push-ups;-D

No shooting stars again, I need to start going earlier, maybe when I start to increase my mileage then it will pick-up. My to youngest kids have their 5th grade wax museum tonight, it should be fun;-)

See you tomorrow.

I ran out towards Payson, very slowly, foot was really bothersome this morning not a very fun run! Average pace was 8:57 with my heart rate average at 139, total time was 36:11. This foot thing is really getting on my nerves, one day it seems to be okay and then next day it is really painful, I know I sound like a broken record but I'm just getting sick of it! I finished up with my upper body workout on the Bowflex and some push-ups...

It was my two youngest kids (Ethan & Sophie) 5th grade wax museum last night and it was a lot of fun and they both did a great job, Ethan was Mark Twain and Sophie was Shawn Johnson... Ethan had the hair and the mustache on and Sophie was dressed up just like a gymnast, it was pretty cool. This morning they do it for a couple of hours for all the kids in the school so it should be fun for them today too.

See ya tomorrow

No running today, I have been fighting a cold all week and when I woke up this morning I just felt like crapola, so I stayed in bed to rest and recuperate... I hope to feel better on Monday and maybe the extra day off will help my foot heal up some, although I am not holding my breathe!

The big BYU Utah game today, I am a BYU fan for life but it would be kinda cool to see Utah run the table and get into the BCS and get in the middle of it all! I would actually like to see it happen and give those other big name schools a run for their money!!!

With that said good luck to both teams and I hope it is a good close game...
