This will be a little bit of a cut back week for me as far as mileage is concerned, I've had 3 really good weeks in a row so I want to make sure I don't over do so I will ease back a little on the mileage this week. I ran out past the old barn on canal road and towards Payson and then back to the house, average pace was 8:49 with a total time of 37:30 I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push ups. It was a beautiful day today, shorts and short sleeves on the 26th of January, pretty darn nice.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past the stake center and towards Mini Gu, since this is a cut back week I stopped a mile short. I felt pretty good and the pace was up beat, my average pace was 8:22 with a total time of 35:58. I had a couple of sub 8:15 mile paces in the middle, 8:12, 8:09. It was another beautiful day and I am surely spoiled but I'm not going to complain.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past the old barn on canal road and then down Elk Ridge road and then I turned after hitting my mile two which was the bottom of the hill and then I turned and headed back the same way, a nice little mixture of flat and downhill and uphill. My average pace was 8:27 with a total time of 33:46, I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push-ups.  It was a very fun workout.

See ya tomorrow.

I didn't get home from work until after 5 but I headed out towards Mini Gu corner but stopped at the horse arena which is just short of a mile from Mini Gu. I was having problems with my watch so I reset it and headed back to the house. I had two miles that were in the MP range, 7:55, 8:00, my average pace for the run was 8:15 with a total time of 36:30. I felt pretty darn good again and I'm glad I was able to get out. It's amazing to me how when I have a bad day at work if I push myself out the door for a run it seems to make everything right. It doesn't solve the problem but it makes everything right at home, and that's what counts! That's why I love this sport and how when I have been injured in the past how tough it is to handle day to day problems with out it. I am so glad that I have the opportunity to run, I shall never take it for granted again.

See ya tomorrow.

Nice easy run out past the old barn on canal road and then back to the house, felt okay today but not great. My average pace was nice and easy at 8:59 with a total time of 29:32, nice day again, a little overcast but still pretty tolerable temps for the end of January.

'See ya tomorrow.

I have had another great week of training even though it was a cut back on mileage I had some really good runs, next week back to the regualr mileage. My average pace was 8:24 with a total time of 51:07, now its off to State Cheer Championship, my wifes team won it all last year so we will see how it goes.
