Still Running

Rainbow gardens to Beuss Canyon trailhead. 

Late night run on the home treadmill after dinner and scout meetings.  Easy run of 7 miles at 7:47.  Not so easy after being reminded that I had philly cheese steak sandwiches with onions and green peppers for dinner.

Speed workout today.  I needed a haircut after work so I ran on the treadmill at work during lunch.  Warm up, two one mile intervals at 6:11 with half mile jog in between and the cool down.  I always watch nature videos when I do speed or tempo because I can zone out a lot easier.  Especially when I can picture myself backpacking through the canyons of Southern Utah. 

Morning neighborhood 5k with my family.  We had a lot of fun with our good friends.  I got beat by two high school kids and a neighbor that ran hurdles in college.  At least I beat my seven year old daughter. 

I'm a fair weather runner so when it gets too cold or too hot I run on the lonely treadmill at my office. 

Training for St. George started two weeks ago.  I like to do the Runners World plan.  I haven't tried any others yet.  Today was a long run of 16 miles.  Everything felt good except for the boredom. 

The Fellowship of the Rings got me through again.  There is a TV with a VCR so I have a collection of videos purchased from the DI over the last four years.  I wish there was a DVD player.

Took my son to soccer practice and then I ran around the park while he practiced.  The trail around the park was concrete.  It made me wish I was on the BST.  6.3 miles at 7:42 average.  A bit too hot, windy and dusty for my liking while running.
