BACK TO WORK

AM lifted w/ watson today.  power circuits x 2, but no core work.

PM took the day off.  I have been feeling run down since friday.  I think a rest day is in order.

AM-ran with burk and kire this morning.  I think our slow is still a little fast for ki., but he tried to stay w/ us on the spectrum run.  He is great kid.  Pretty winded by the end of the run and dragging from the early run.

PM-worked on suzy's starts today at the track, so i didn't run w/ the kids.  laur and I decided to go out for some easy miles before I had to go take care of the weekly YSA b-ball games.  we did the big house loop, but I decided to tack a mile on past GWA and run back up the steep hill.  i ended up doing 5 mile tempo run to finish it up.  good strong day today.

late PM-talked w/ my paretns on skype now that they are out in samoa.  they sound good, but a little home sick. It is really hard to be that far away and not fit in to anyones family or culture.  I remember I felt like I was on an island (very punny) during the first couple months.  It gets better, and things start to get really smooth.

AM-slept in. 

PM-got started late, so I went in to the weight room and did a quick 3, then lifted for 45 minutes.

talked to ren and her fam on skype.  I got a camera, so we can talk to mom and dad next time they are connected.

AM-spectrum run w/ burk and mark

PM-hidden valley park loop w/ the kids and then 4X800m@2:55 w/200m recoveries on the track. burk and kyler are hitting 2:40-2:45 really smooth.  Kyler is going to be a force this year.

I decided to go run with the club tonight.  virgin river trail north O&B for 4.5.  There were quite a few guys out tonight, and it feels so much easier running w/ them.  the miles tick by pretty quickly.  i didn't have the garmin, but I think we were around 7:20 before I turned around.  13 was plenty for me for the day.   

AM-stationary bike and weights before school.  I was dragging at first but after the bike I got in to it.

PM-Boys b-ball.  Dixie@ home.  We win in OT.  Great game.  Dixie has gotten better.

no run.

Chad and i went out on our normal "flying j" 10 mile figure 8.  It was a beautiful day.  A little cool until the sun got up, but with a toke and gloves it was perfect.

I decided to get 4 more in, so I went down to the end of the washed out trail and then back down virgin river north before the dixie center to get my 14 in.  Sooooo nice.
