3.5 in the morning.   7 at night.  two with the club.

Went with the club at 8.   We almost got ran over.   I had about enough so i skipped down to the baseball field.  When we go out as a club,  who ever is leading needs to take some responsibility for the people behind them.  Especialy when you cross the road!  It is not suppose to be every man for them self!

Steve called me up and met me at my work for 6 pm run.   Was a little hot 98 degrees.   But i can't refuse Steve and i needed to get my work out done.  Ran 9 miles with him. Iwas glad he had water.  We would of never of made it.  Ran another two on my own.    I need to figure out what pace i should be running  400 and 800 in speed work and what is my Threshold  pace and tempo pace?  Any ideas?  (cumulas)  New shoes felt great.

not an exciting morning!    Got up out the door. only did 4  easy miles.  I left baby garmin at home to catch up on sleep, she deserves some rest and needs to charge up her batteries. 

 

I met up with the Marathon Olympic trial club!  We started around 7 min pace and I was feeling ok.   It was hot and humid around 95 degrees.   Around mile 6 I really began to feel dehydrated. (Very dizzy.)  I slowed way down while our relentless team, Steve, Clyde, Steve O, Dave H.  picked up the pace.    I felt like I was going down the river with out a paddle and here comes the rapids!   I made it back to the store.  Spinning Steve and Clyde were nice enough to wait for me.  (Thanks guys)   We ended up running 11.5. I ran a mile warm up before we started.

I went and bought a new pair of compression shorts last night and decided to show them off this morning.  I was like a little kid on Christmas morning.  I put them on and put on the St.George running store shirt.  I flew out the door to strut my stuff.   I ran by the superbly this morning and gave him a high five.   Ran up his trail of love up near the water tower and back down.   Good run over all.    I was wondering are you suppose to ware running shorts over those compression shorts?

7 easy miles tonight.

Spinning with sweet Angela.  She is about to drop the big one.  This should be the last time i see her for awhile.  I will miss her sweet smile and killer work outs.    Ran 3 miles on the Dreadmill.   My legs felt like Jello.  (Green jello with carrots that is)

It was raining big time this morning. lighting was flashing! Thunder was loud.  I decided to not risk it!  Will run 10 tonight.   Not feeling any in unusual soreness from the race.  I actually feel normal.  Either a sign i did not run as hard as i should have in the race or i am getting in bettter shape!  

Holy humidity.  Went running about 4:30 the temp was around 90 degrees humidity made it feels around 100.   Nice easy run. I got down 6:19 pace at one point.   But kept it slow most of the run.

I set my Alarm off at 2:30 to check out the lunar eclipse.   Not much was happening so I woke up again around 3:30 ish and saw the full eclipse.  It reminded me of when I run behind Steve.  His body usually eclipses my own and I run in his shadow.  Woke up again at 5:30 to do some track work at snow canyon.  Turns out they were fixing the football field and it was closed.  We decided to go up snow canyon and run up and down the trail.  So me mike and his wife and Steve had a good run.   We ran 8 miles.  Steve and I picked it up coming back down.   Good run. 

TWO MORE MILES TONIGHT.
