Clyde's Comeback!

Pushed Myler on a little fields/ Little Valley run. The temps are simply amazing. This why I live in STG... for this stuff. I just can't get enough of being outside right now. Anyways the run was good with a slight pain in the hammy. I'll have Mik'L roll it out tonight with the stick. 

B-hills loop. Hammy has been buggin this week. Sucks cuz it didn't bother me for almost a month now it's back. Because of that everything else felt awkward. Still a good day and the weather is amazing. 

6.6 mile B-hills loop pushing Myler. It was another beautiful day here in Dixie and the temps just made me feel great. I even had a 2 burgers and a coke 20 min's before the run and it didn't even mess with me. So that was cool. The hammy was still kind of buggin but I tried to roll smooth and easy to keep it minimal. Myler did great until the last 1.5 and then he got hungry so I had to lay down tempo pace all the way home. That was a good little workout pushing him.  

Long B-hills loop. Just a quickie before Mik'L went to the office. For some reason it feels like it should already be Friday. 

Did the long B-hills loop then back around the park pushing Myler this afternoon. 7:20 pace for the run. I felt kind of blah having just ate a late lunch... but that seems to be the norm. Myler loved the run and was winking at all the ladies who were out and about.  

After fighting off a cold for a month I finally got it. Sick man. 

Still sick. 

Finally started to feel a little better. I was going to go longer but by the time I went out running I was feeling kind of dizzy. So I just went short. I was looping the B-hills run when I ran into Paul. So I ran back around with him for a while and then just finished through the Knolls park. Felt ok at best. 

Long day of hauling bark into the yard. Loaded and pushed around 70 wheelbarrows around the house. Most of the time I was running doing it so I could get it all done in one day... The yard is basically done now... and I'm trashed. 

Bloomington loop. I thought I felt good (better from being sick and recovered from yesterday) so I went out. Around 6 miles into it I started to really feel like crap and it suck from there in. One of the worst runs of my life and when I got home I was really sick... we will see how I recover from this... 7:07 avg for the run. Really shouldn't have gone that fast. 

Sickness showed up again. I thought I was better but it came back to ruin another day. 

Sickish... didn't want to go out and get any worse. 

Ran with Logan out in his kingdom tonight. We went out and back up into Keyenta. Out in 44 back in just under 40. Felt pretty good for being sickly for the last ever. Nice clear night with lots of stars. 

Great run this morning with the lads. We ran up above the freeway on the Church Rocks trail system that runs north of Coral Canyon just as you come into Utahs Dixie. It was an amazing morning. A little cool at first but blue skies and no wind. It had rained and made all the sand nice and firm so the trail was in the best shape possible. It was cool to discover some new trails up in the red rocks. Legs felt great the entire run which was good with all the hills and sand. 

Memories baby! 

Quick run this morning on the treadmill here in Torrey. Myler has been sick and it's been too stressful for me to relax up here. Way cold outside too. I left a water bottle out in the inside of the truck last night and it froze solid. I think it was 17F here this morning. Not fun for me. 

5k this morning on the treadmill. I set out to do as many as Myler would allow. We were up in Torrey and no one else was home so I had to sit and watch him crawl around on the floor in front of me. He started to get really fussy at around 2.7 so I knew it was only going to be short. 

6.6 mile B-hills loop this evening. After coming home from Torrey and doing a bunch of chores around the house and yard I did a quick run while my mother-in-law watched Myler at her house.

On the run I just went with the 7 min guy on smooth effort. Then on all the downhill sections of this course I laid it all out there and hit CV pace just to attempt to get the legs going. Running fast is going to take some work to do again. I had to really focus to keep the legs moving at that tempo... and I didn't even go far enough on the bursts to worry about real shape.  

worked in the yard and didn't run

took Mik'L to Vegas for FLP and was too tired and cold when we got home after 9:30 p.m. 

8 miles in 55:44 so I just barely tied the 7 min guy at the line. This was one  of the first runs where I really felt out of shape and like I'm falling out of it.... 

Spent the day in Vegas watching Myler while Mik'L worked with her dad. This was an bad week for me running and made me want buckle down and get things going again. Now to get through Thanksgiving week...

Pushed Myler this morning around the longer B-hills loop. Was happy to get the week off and rolling with a run. Will really try and get out every day this week as I've been bad the last few weeks. 

Todays run felt good. I just took it easy and tried to keep Myler bundled up and warm.  

5.4 miles this afternoon with my uncle and pushing Myler. Another nice and easy, slow run to log the miles and get the body to come around.  

First real cold run of the year for me. I usually don't get out too early so it's warmer by then. Today was hat, gloves, tights, and jacket. I'm really not ready for that on a daily basis but what can you do. After getting out it really wasn't that bad and for some reason I enjoyed the tights... Legs felt fresh and strong with no hammy pain. 

Pushed Myler around B-hills this afternoon. Legs felt like weed... smoked weed. Anyways glad to have gotten out as the afternoon was really nice.  

I had 1,000 things to get done today as we are hosting our family here for Thanksgiving. So I just didn't get it done today. 

Solid run this morning. Hit 8.3 miles at 6:34 pace. Never really pushed myself into crazy gear until the last mile and hit it in 5:30 with the last .5 at 5:14. Good run for me pace wise. I really don't run fast much anymore so it was good to see the legs could kind of get rolling. Short cool down at the finish.

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Didn't "run" officially but did play flag football for 2 hours and worked my butt off. So sore after. Use totally different muscles than regular. Good time though. 

A brisk run around B-hills this morning while Mik'L road the bike. I didn't have a watch but pace was around a 6:40 avg. I was pretty sore from yesterday and my right IT band was really sore but running felt better than I thought it would. Kind of chilly feeling out. 

Pushed Myler out and back in to B-hills. I'm really, really sore from flag football last Friday. The run felt tight and hard. It's more like a deep soreness... kind of like back when I coached wrestling and would workout with the kids. Anyways Myler had fun as he just jibber jabbered the entire ride.
