Very very very sore! Combination from saturdays run and deep tissue massage on my legs. Whewww have not been this sore for a very long time. Slow easy run today.

avg pace 8:02

This is for my own personal benefit, but I am going to try blogging what I eat so I can better track what I eat and how it makes me feel with my running. I try to keep track at home with writing it down but it makes more sense to just have it incorporated with my running blog. I do eat alot of the same things esp. breakfast and lunch. Dinner is where i swtich it up more, except tues and thurs are usually allways the same thing.

Ran with Mike, so nice to have some company and whatever he says dont believe cuz he did not slow me down at all, in fact he was pushing me! Did a DVD workout yesterday with weights for upper, lower body and core. I am feeling it today. Definetely a good purchase for me. But as for the run, felt good except my right leg is still acting up. Going to play it safe with my miles the next 3 weeks til Bryce.

Was supposed to meet up with the club but got nervous with my leg giving me issues this week that I was worried about doing 20 so I slept in til 7 and then went out with my ipod and ran a big loop through ivins and santa clara. Got pretty warm but passed a couple parks and got some nice hot water out of the drinking fountain (but did sneak into red mountain spa and get a nice cold drink from their clubhouse). Was glad I didnt head out with the club because I was so sluggish today and my leg felt not so great, had to stop and stretch alot. avg 8:00

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! hope everyone has a great time with their families!

Met Logan, Dave and James at 5am to do a 20 miler down the marathon course. I really really wanted to go 20  cuz I love long runs down the course but when it came down to it I asked them to drop me off at 12. My quad has been so tight the last week that I got nervous about all the downhill on it and with Bryce coming up I dont want to throw myself under the bus. I ended up adding a little at the end but was glad I opted for going shorter. I felt great besides my leg (which really doesnt hurt just feels very constricted on my stride). Had to stop 3 times for VPB. During the run I started to invision SG marathon and putting the times together in my head and where I needed to be at certain miles. Got me very excited! I love this time of year when everyone that runs parks their car at the church or finish line and drives up and runs on the course. There are always so many runners out and just fun to see everyone out training for it. After I was done I rolled my leg with the stick and hurried to shower and get back to the store to see if I could drive logan back to his car but they had already gotten there and gone back up.
