Went out in the heat of the day. I thought I could manage 8 miles, but by 2.5 I decided to turn back. I was running along 600 North trail, so I stopped at the ball field and made good use of their water hose. I then proceeded to the bridge, but stopped and walked across the bridge to regain focus. Even with the walking, I was able to edge out the 8:00 min guy. Planning on doing some more miles, later once the sun goes down.

Did 6 miles tonight, ran over to the Chervon, then back to the high school, half a mile around the track, then home.

Not a lot of time today, and I wasn't feeling very good so I only did 3 miles. This hip injury is still really bothering me. Maybe since my birthday is coming up I'll try a massage again.

Great workout for me tonight (something I've been needing to have, to help me stay motivated) Anyway, I left the house at 7:00 pm, still very hot out, probably still right around 100. I did 2.5 miles easy warm-up, then started into a workout of 1000m repeats on my marked off course in La Verkin with 2:00 min recovery. The goal pace was 3:33-3:38

1-3:34.84 (5:42 pace) Felt nice and relaxed

2-3:30.85 (5:38) Another decent repeat

3-3:34.05 (5:41) Starting to hurt a little, hip feeling tight

4-3:32.55 (5:40) Really pushed the last half

5-3:32.20 (5:40) Didn't feel good from the start, but did manage to pick it up the last half.

Did another 2.5 miles cool-down. The hip bothered me through much of the workout, but I just tried to push through the pain. I've now done this workout three times and here are the splits to compare.

Not a very good night of sleep, Jarren was up many times. He has now mastered the getting out the crib things, so he is now wondering the house in the middle of the night. Rode my bike to work this morning.

I only managed to run the La Verkin 5K loop tonight, felt ok.

Not feeling very good this morning. I think I need more sleep. Did a painful 8 miles this afternoon in the burning sun. I ran over to Sky Mountain Golf Course along the 600 North trail. The run was pretty slow and my hip and ankle were hurting, but at least I got some miles in.

Pretty decent run this morning. After helping out with the Pine Valley 5K and 10K race Bill, Mike, Bruce and I left from Pine Valley and cruised down to Central. The Bull was already firing on all cylinders, so we tried to slow him down a bit. Ran the first 9.5 miles in 7:07 pace. Then after a short drink at Central I took off and pushed the pace for 4 miles (averaged 6:30 pace) then slowed up to around 7:05 pace for the last two miles. I was starting to heat up and felt a blister coming on, on my right foot back on the heal, in the weird place where I got some really bad blisters two years ago.

Anyway, overall a good run. Hip was bothering me again most of the run, but that was to be expected. My hip hurts worse when I run downhill, but we don't get to run up in Pine Valley very often, so that was nice and the temperature wasn't too bad, except for the last 5 to 6 miles.
