Basketball this morning. Stomach issues too much bad food over the weekend. Today has been a rough day.  I haven't felt good all day.  I think I ate something bad because I've been making constant trips to the bathroom.  Tonight's run was a struggle 6 miles in the heat over to Hurricane and back.  I really didn't want to run at all, but forced myself I didn't feel any better on the run or after, hopefully I can sleep ok and then meet up with Bill in the morning for a tempo run maybe?

Well I still wasn't feeling good last night at midnight, so I sent Bill and Mike a text and bailed out on the early morning tempo over in St. George. I slept ok and felt a little better this morning, but still not super. I left the house a little late, so it was already getting warm-up did 4 miles out to Toquerville City Office, got a drink and cooled off, then decided to do a tempo run. The plan was going to be 3 miles, but I only ended up doing 2.5 just wasn't feeling too good and it was way hot now, not a great effort averaged 6:26. I had to crawl the rest of the way home. I thought it was very fitting the sprinklers were on at the cemetery so that is where I stopped next since I was almost dead anyway.

1 easy mile tonight with Sunny it was late and she wasn't feeling too good so we only went to her parents then back home.

Pretty good run this morning even though my legs were tired. Sunny drove me up to our church in Virgin and then I ran home 7 miles averaged 7:25 pace which is pretty fast for me on an easy day. Most of the time I just average around 8:00. Anyway, plan on doing another 5 this afternoon, then I have family coming into town. Tomorrow I'm off to Vegas, then Friday through Sunday I'll be in Southern California.

Ran 5 miles over to Hurricane City Park and back this afternoon, very hot out.

Big Workout #10 7x1000m repeats @ CV pace. This was a good workout this morning, even though I was not looking forward to it. In fact I kept trying to talk myself out of doing it, saying my legs were tired. However, once I got going it turned out to be pretty good. I had to get up early and take my dad and Jordan over to Hurricane High so they could meet up with some other cousins to head off on their raft trip down the Grand Canyon (kind of a bummer, I'm not going but it was a pretty pricey trip, my mom is taking Sunny and I and the younger boys to Legoland this weekend, so that should be fun.) Ok back to the workout.

1-3:36 (5:42) a little slow to begin with still getting warmed up

2-3:29 (5:29) felt better

3-3:30 (5:34) feeling good

4-3:27 (5:26) good

5-3:27 (5:26) still feeling good, figure I can do one more

6-3:29 (5:27) good one but getting tired, cool off in a sprinkler decide to do one more

7-3:31 (5:32) pretty good, but tired at the end.

Overall I was pretty pleased with this workout. The last time I ran 1000's on the track was on June 9th, today I did two more and the times were all faster which is a good sign.

Spend most of the day driving to Carlsbad, CA.  Swam for awhile tonight with the boys, hope to get in a run tomorrow morning.  Kind of taking it easy today and tomorrow.  July was a good month for me running wise, 2nd most miles in a month I've had since getting back into running in 2006, so I was pretty happy about that.

I guess I might considering this my step back week.  I only ran 7 miles this morning here in Carlsbad.  Anyway this run put me at 50 miles for the week, so a little less than what I've been running, but still decent. My legs were pretty sore early in the week from the 10K race.  I was pretty pleased with my speed workout on Thursday.  Not sure if we are coming back to Utah tomorrow or on Monday.
