Man - I don't know what my problem was today - I went out for 20 and almost didn't even make it through 13.5 - bad run - no energy.

7.5 Morning Run - nothing too exciting dropped it down to 5:50 for about .5-

Planning a 7.5 evening run.

I was planning on getting an evening run but decided to hold off since I was planning 15 on Wed and Thrus, and a 20 on Sat.  Putting me at 72 for the week.  I don't want to jump up the miles too fast.

Ran to the store - nice and smooth.  I'm starting to feel my body changing and It's feeling nice.  I'm not sure if I'm loosing weight ( I don't own a scale) or I'm just starting to get into better shape - I'm really excited about my own training right now and excited about what 08 will bring.  My goal for this month is to start doing mile repeats in about 11/2 weeks and get my miles up to 80 by the last week of the month.

Ran home from the store at 3pm. 7.5

Great run with the guys ( Dave, Clyde, Mike and Myself).  Ran down from Washington to Dam Rd out to the Washington Dam, over to Sand Hallow Rd, up passed Purgatory, left of Telegraph and back to Dave's House.

Kept it steady for most of the run nothing fast. Going up passed Purgatory Clyde picked up the pace a little, then Dave passed us and picked it up a little more - by the time we are about a half mile from the top of the hill poor little Steve was shutting down.  When we got to the light to turn left onto Telegraph my hip flexors and calf were basically shot. So, it was slow slow slow for me the last 5 miles. 

Overall I'm happy with the run.  I haven't done a 20 in a while.  I think I would have been fine had I not pushed it up the hill like I did.

It's great to see everyone improving with their goals.

I'm thinking of going 3 later on to get my goal of 70 for the week.

Slow and steady 18 this morning. Felt Great - No Watch, No Speed, No Rush, No Stopping.

From my house to 1440 S over to the River trail and Convention Ctr., under the freeway over to Green Valley connected to the Bike path, up to the St George Running Center, and back to the house. Felt pretty good, much better on the way back down to the house.

Woke up with my calves and arches a little tight which made me a little concerned - however after walking around and helping the kids get ready for the day they loosened up a little. 

Ran an easy 5 miles @ 7:30 pace on the treadmill this morning.  Watched a History Channel show on Snipers. 

Group Run from the store - Ran 3 mile warm-up then started the 6 mile tempo.  This is how the tempo went:

1. 5:50

2. 5:55 - stoplight

3. 6:12 - gravel road - crossing part of golf course.

4. 6:36 - Bathroom Break

5. 6:30 - Heading up Dixie Dr.

6. 6:58 - Pushing up the hill but not really going very far, very fast

1 mile cool down back to the store.  I was really excited about this run today before it happened. Little disappointed with having to stop and use the restroom and my performance the last mile. I think if we keep it up the times will keep dropping.

Great run this morning with the club from Mike's House - Thanks again to Colleen for the ride the nice refreshment after the run.  And Mike gets no thanks for bringing out the scale.

Anyways, started out on Utah hill and came down all the ways to Mike's house.  Nice steady run pushed it for a few miles. Everyone was looking really strong. 

Was planning on hitting 80, but it will have to hold off till next week.  Very happy with the way things are turning out.  I just need to loose 20 lbs.
