Wednesdays are Loafer Canyon Days, and my legs were not wanting to run up that darn thing this morning to top it all off I had a head wind all the way up, brutal. My legs were totally wiped out from the lack of sleep, although I did sleep a little better last night but I still feel like I've been beaten senseless with a bat! I took it real slow going up and tried to to the same coming back down, my average pace was 9:40 with my heart rate at 140, total time was 58:28 my last mile was 8:42 so I'm counting that as a MP mile... My heart rate going up was 150 to 155 and then coming down I took it pretty easy and it was 127. I know the reason why I am feeling tired is because of the sleep issue, its so important to get a good nights sleep. My hip was really sore today, it affected me going up and on the way down I hope that it is feeling better tomorrow.

No strength training today because its my day off, I can't believe it's the first day of school summer went fast, my stepson Mason is in High school this year at the new Salem Hills High School, he was really excited. It should be a fun year with everyone.

See ya tomorrow

Loafer is not fun. I guess it is in a demented sort of way! It does feel like a big accomplishment when you have done it! Good job getting it done and keeping things a little slow.

I'm impressed with Salem Hills High School. It looks like they are really set to have a great beginning! It will be interesting to see what happens with all the schools and rivalry now.

Kim- Loafer is brutal and I didn't go all the way to the gate, I stopped just above the turn off to go to Elk Ridge... My legs were really good last week going up that darn thing, but I think with the lack of sleep the last few days has taken its toll me!

Ya I agree with you about the High School it will be interesting to see how the sports go and everything, I can't wait to see what happens.

Thanks for checking in on me.
