We are 22 hours into today and I am finally taking the time to fill in my run for the day. I ended up staying up late working on a project and overslept my chance to meet with the running group. I am very sad because everyone went to St. George and ran so hard that they were all going to be sore and slow enough for me to keep up with them. The air quality is also horrible lately and my doctor has advised me not to run because of exercised induced asthma that flares up from time to time. I did end up running at lunch time which was nice because once I got above Memory Grove the air was much cleaner and it was actually quite a bit warmer as well. I tried to press as hard as possible and ran an average of 9:10 to 9:30 running up hill and averaged 8:00 to 7:30 minute miles coming down. Hopefully the hills will build strength and the downhill will help my foot turnover. Also, this month's Runner's World magazine has one of the coolest workouts listed for working on the core. One of the greatest is the metronome. Check it out, not only is it a lot of fun it can kick your butt too. Okay, I have run my mouth long enough. Till next time…
