Great run this morning did my Washington Loop. Good steady pace - dropped it down into the mid 6's for a few miles.  Still a little tired from this weekend.

Ran home from the store tonight - good steady pace did a fartlik/ tempo workout.  Felt really good. However, my ankle is a little sore.  Excited to be back to running this week and feeling strong.

Ran with the Club. I was going to do 20 but decided I only needed to do 15 - Nice Steady pace - Dropped it down to 6 min pace and a little below for a while.

I'm planning on getting back to my normal routine next week.  My ankle has been feeling a lot better.

Two good steady 7.5 mile runs - to The Store and back home. Feeling pretty good and strong. Looking forward to the 10k this weekend.

I've also been enjoying not running with my Garmin on non-speed days.  Just going off of feel.

Went to the SCHS Track to help out with the group speed workout.  Only Stacy Bracken and I showed.  Durring the 3rd 800 I felt my calf just role-up into a knot.  We were'nt even goign too fast just about 6:20 pace, but I think It's all related to my POSTERIOR TIBIAL TENDON   issue.  I'm going to massage it a little today and get some Wintercrest on it.

Ran to the Store this morning from the house.  Nice pace. 7.5

Ran home the long way 9.5 - nice pace as well. It's really starting to get warm. I had my tights on and had to stop and take them off.  I was sweating pretty bad.

Great run this morning with the club. Ran a 5.7 mile loop 3 time with the second loop being a tempo - ran the tempo at 6:01 Ave/Pace

Felt great and much better than last weeks 10k. I'm looking forward to doing that workout again in the future to see if I've improved.

Two great runs today from the house to the store and back. Everything was flowing really well didn't really push but still ran a nice solid pace.

Went to the track for the Tues. Morning Group Workout.  Dawson and I were there only ones so we rocked the track for a few mile.  During our cool down I decided to run a couple quarter repeats with Hayden.  Hayden had already done a few when I came in.  I think we did the 1st one in 63.  Then on the second Hayden started having some issues with lightheadedness and shortness of breath so we stopped. I think he was just depleted from sleep and not having enough food in him.

Evening fun only did 3.

Great run to the store this morning. I had an early phone appt and ended up doing a 2 mile tempo to get here on time. Looking forward to the club run tonight @ 6 pm.

Great run with the club. 10 mile loop. My legs got really chaffed. Nice solid pace. Got a little tired at the end. 7 min pace (according to Clyde).

Ran with the group this morning did the Snow Canyon Loop From the Store.  I pretty much sand-bagged it all the way up the hill. I figured there was no reason to push. About the last 4 miles I picked up the pace a little and caught up with Bill and picked up a little distance on Clyde. Average pace was probably around 7:30. Good run to end a great week.

Very happy with my running this week.  Next week I plan to keep it at 80 and continue building a good solid base (I'll probably keep it in this range for another 5 weeks).  As of right now I have no tightness or any other nagging little issues in the legs.  My goal is to continue to stay consistent, build the solid base I'll need to train really well this summer with the guys.
