Big Workout # 11- 5 mile tempo run @ CV pace Met up with Mike and Bill this morning at the rec center to do our 5 mile tempo run. This was my first run since the half on Saturday and the legs were still pretty sore so I took it a little easier than I usually do, plus I was still having some stomach issues as well as a bad cough. We did 2.5 mile warm-up then got into the tempo

1-6:01

2-6:09

3-6:23

5K- 19:10

4-6:22

5-6:19

Overall 31:18 (6:16)

So quite a bit slower, but still good to get out and get the miles in, plus this felt pretty good for still running on tired legs.

Finished with a 3 mile cool-down

An hour of basketball this morning, still not feeling too good, have a bad cough.

Legs tired, hip hurting, stuffed nose, and nagging cough not a good run. Managed six very slow miles up the La Verkin Twist trail and then back down. Quite the run to end my summer vacation.

With the 6 miles today I reached 500 miles for my Asics Blue Cumulus, the shoes are pretty worn, if I really had to I could continue running in them, however I think I'm ready to retire them.

Did 3 easy miles over to Pah Tempe, still very hot out this afternoon. Still feeling sick and run down, but made it through the first day of school.

Nice run tonight with the club, felt pretty good, same knee pain and still have the cough.  We did a nice 8 mile loop which included some trails with a lot of ups and downs.

Woke up to a text message this morning at 5:15.  The wildbull, was parked in my driveway ready to run.  Who knows how the long the guy had been in the neighborhood.  At first I really didn't believe he was at my house ready to run, but after a few more text messages and finally going outside to check, sure enough he was at my house and ready to go.  We drove up to Rockville, dropped off his car and got started while it was still dark and nice cool temps.  Did about two miles, before I had to stop to use the bathroom. After that felt pretty good, except for my cough which I battled the entire run.  I've had this cough all week, which has been no fun. 

Besides the cough the run was great, I told Bill some stories from my days in college, which made the miles go by faster.  We stopped in Virgin for some water and a GU, then kept the pace pretty even to the top of the La Verkin Twist, then Bill took off he hammered 3 miles pretty good, while I did my best to keep him in sight. 

Coming down the hill my right hip really starting hurting.  It is almost marathon time, so it makes sense that the hip flares up, any time I get to this point in my training the hip starts hurting.  Once we hit La Verkin, we decided to just add on a few more miles to make it 18, which would put me at 60 for the week, so we just ran around town.
