8 miles in the afternoon.

I am planning on doing between 70 and 80 miles this week.  I slept in this morning and really relished the extra sleep.  I ran out into Kayenta and kept it nice and easy and enjoyed the 80+ degree weather.  It was quite hot.  I will run twice a day for rest of the week most likely. 

I don't think I've told anyone yet.  Katey and I are the proud parents of a cute little lab/hound puppy!  I wanted a dog that I could run with and this is the perfect dog.  She is really quiet and is already running around quite a bit even though she is only 7 weeks old.  She is a lot of fun right now.

6 miles in the morning.

9 miles in the afternoon.

A nice and warm morning run around Santa Clara Heights.  I almost had to much on for clothing.  It felt really good this morning.

A hot 86 degree run this afternoon.  I went exploring around the house on some trails.  I ran over by the Santa Clara River and hopped on a trail that went up a bit and started to overlook Ivins and Santa Clara.  I stayed on it and was having a blast so I kept on going.  I ended up out by some famous site but I couldn't figure out what it was.  I enjoyed going off the beaten path for a while and just enjoyed good old mother earth under my running feet.

6 miles in the morning.

8 miles in the afternoon.

Ran all over Ivins this morning.  A little chilly.  Fairly tired because the dog kept us up all night.  She is still very young and learning a schedule and routine.

I went on my fun run up into Snow Canyon State Park this afternoon.  It was really fun.  My right hamstring is starting to act up a little again.  I need to go get another massage I think.  No wildlife this run but I did have my shirt off and scared a old lady hiking.  She didn't like me running without the shirt.

I ran with the club tonight.  We started at the store and then went on the Chuckawalla trail around towards Entrada.  It was a fun trail run but a little rough in spots.  I guess I have certain people I need to thank for that.  It was fun running with the guys again.

I went out towards Kayenta and had another great run.  The hamstring is a little tight and I am so glad I am seeing April so she can hopefully get it fixed.  The weather was perfect and it was an enjoyable run.  Perfect conditions and one that was quite memorable.

I met up at the Hooper complex and went on a run with Steve and Clyde.  We did a 13 miler out towards the new airport and then around towards Blue Bunny and then back to the complex.  The hamstring was extra tight today.  I don't know what is going on.  It was mostly trail running so it was a nice change of scenery.  I am thinking about getting some gravity boots to help me out with this problem :)  What do you think Clyde?

Nice end to a decent week.  Katey comes back from her personal training conference in California tomorrow and has a lot of great new ideas to help me out with my running.  I will do some workouts with her giving me advice so hopefully it will help me out.  I am planning on doing the Snow Canyon 1/2 next week but will have to see how the hamstring feels.  It will be good to do a race again.
