Total Distance
18.65

morning - 18.65 Went up to Leeds and then ran up to Anderson Junct. and back through Leeds and home. At first I had a little trouble getting my mind and body into it. After about 5 miles, however, my body started to cooperate a bit. My mind, however, was back and forth throughout the whole run. Sometimes I was really liking it; others, I just wanted to stop and be done. Nonetheless, I ran very well, considering. Ave for whole run was at 7:03. With pretty much everything after 5 under 7, except one of the hill miles. A good course that I really like (wish the rest of the club could have made it). I really enjoy the section through Leeds. And the downhill training is good, but the run still has three hard hills on it. (Landreth 327)

Good recovery week.  Went through all the phases of recovery, I think.  First I wanted to get out and run a lot, but my body was too beat up to let me.  Then I didn't want to run.  Now, I am feeling a bit more energized both in body and mind at the end of the week.

Goals for next week:  Get back over 100 miles.  Keep the foot feeling good.  Have a strong hill workout and speed workout.  Get back working on stride count.  And MOST IMPORTANT in this middle section of the summer, have some fun and run with a smile!

Hey, awesome run last week at Bryce! I wanted to comment on it before, but since you only post once every week or two I never did. You are running very strong this year, keep it up. What is your next race?

I will be at Provo Canyon too. Maybe we can give Sasha a little scare, he often runs away from everyone there!

I like the sound of that, but the guy is a machine!

Yeah, I guess we should have just went ahead with the run. From reading your blog it sounds like you still ran a lot of the route. I drove out along that frontage road yesterday with some driver's ed kids. I think there is also some options and trails that head off toward the reserve area to the south and east of Leeds.

Good week of training, the soreness in your foot kind of worries me, you might want to see somebody if you think it is a bone spur. After I twisted my ankle really bad a few years ago, I had a few bone fragments and calcium deposits that were floating around and causing tremendous pain, especially when I tried to do any running. I saw an orthopedic surgeon over in St. George and basically had a small surgery to clean everything out, which helped a lot. I had a one bone fragment about the size of a pea, which was causing the most problems.

I went ahead and signed up last night for the Provo Half, so I'm excited to see what kind of time I can run there. Back in 2004 I ran 1:24 something when I wasn't in very good shape, so I'm interested to see how much faster I can run this time around.

Great recovery week Dave. I was a little sore Monday and Tuesday but didn't want to push it to much after Bryce. I have to concur about today being the best run of the week. Keep up the great training and hopefully you are all ready for school to start.
