My plan tonight was slow and easy. I ran down the parkway, but there is still water under Wall Ave. I didn't feel like running with wet feet again so I turned around and ran up... It was a nice run I only did the funny snake dance once (saw a snake right at my feet, thought it was a stick until it moved) As I was coming back down the parkway my pace was probably too fast for my easy run, I think I should have been a bit slower, I guess will see how it effects my runs for this week.

I need to get my runs done in the morning, but I'm having a very very difficult time getting up early enough to do it before I have to get ready for work. Mornings are the worst time for me, everything hurts, and I feel stiff. After work is getting so hot now, so I really hope I can start feeling better in the mornings.
Tonight was pretty uneventful... took it slow again, I think my average pace was around 9:30.

Tonight was HOT. The temperature thing in my car said 91 when I was driving home. I don't know how accurate they are, but it felt really hot. I was just planning on running the parkway again but when I got to the top I thought I would run the dirt trail until my garmin read 4 miles so that I would end up with 8, but when I got to that point curiosity took over and I wanted to see when the path was going to end. It's a pretty nice path and I will probably run it again. I was pretty slow on some of the hills when I was on the trail. Between miles 7-8 I thought I would try to pick up my pace... I was hoping to keep it at a 8mm but I didn't make it :( I will try this again another day also. By the end of this run I was pretty hot and tired!

I was up early this morning, and got my run in. I'm crazy busy because I'm going to babysit my grandson in SLC.... My run was a bit slow and my left heel hurt quite a bit for the first 1.5 miles. I was hoping to get more in, but some tummy trouble prevented that :(

The plan was to run in the morning because I had so much going on after work. But I didn't even hear the alarm go off... So I ran on my lunch break. It was not too bad, but I got rather hot! Thank heavens there is a shower at work. Was hoping that I would get 6 miles in, but I needed to stop at every potty along the route (good thing they were open this time) and so I was getting way too long, time wise, for a lunch run. Took it pretty easy, besides the tummy issuse I felt pretty good, I hope there is a little speed saved up for tomorrows 5K.

My friend came to my house and we ran the Pleasant View Founders Day 5K. I was not expecting a big turn out but was surprised to see about 300 runners. I will have to update the report when the official results are posted. I don't know my overall place. But I was very happy to see that I was first!!! in my age group. Man I can't remember the last time that happened, it might even be the first time that as happened!! I think there were 8 ladies in my age group... the really great thing is I smoked the second place lady by I think 2 minutes... like I said when the official results are posted I will let you know for sure. Then Sue and I ran around pleasant View for another 4.5 miles. Just took it nice and easy... then had the breakfast in the park... Nice start to my weekend!

Have a great weekend bloggers!!!

** Updates I was the 54th runner out of 271. I had estimated about 300 so I was pretty close. When I looked at the offical results I beat the second place lady by 4:33... maybe they were just not trying ?
