Hangin' Loose

Been a while since my last post.  Did get in a run last Tues.  But then had to head back up to the hospital.  Kristi had her surgery on Mon the 17th.  And it went well.  The first night was rather rough for her.  But the 2nd night she was finally able to sleep.  Which really helped out for the over all.  Each day it she seems to be getting better and is getting around better too.  Her attitude about the whole thing has been really great too.

Ran at the track with JeffC, Eric and Jeremy. We had a bit of a headwind for part of it. Which seems to becoming a usual event for us lately. This workout was for 6 800s at a 3:13 with a shorter RI. Went pretty good for me. Considering I hadn't ran since last Tues. 1 3:11 2 3:16 3 3:15 4 3:14 5 3:26 wow really missed this one 6 3:14 14, 18, 14, 14 and 20 max for push-ups

Ran 1 mile warm up then kicked it up to tempo pace of 7:40.  Waited at the corner to see who would come.  Only got Eric to join me on the run.  And Eric is a bit slower.  So it was just us 2.  So we ran 5 more at his pace.  Warmed up for the first one at around 11:02 then kicked it up.  Hit around 10:40 then 10:20 10:06 and 10:23 for last.  Kind of wanted to push him a bit more.  But I think he was at his max or close to it.  Hopefully next time we will get a few more people to come.  So I can run a bit faster pace.  But its all good.

Oh on Sunday I was kind of volunteered to run the 5k/1 mile fun run in our stake on Sept 17.  So I will be trying to get more people to come to the race in a couple months.  Still forming the commitees and getting it organized still.

Got out for a run with Richard. Aaron's knee is still bothering him and Jeff isn't feeling to hot all week long. So was just the 2 of us. Richard ran DesNews on Mon so I wasn't to sure what he was up for. And so with me missing last week 20 and scheduled to do 13 today. I was kind of up for anything really. So kind of just ran his paces. At mile 10 I was at a 8:40 AP and wanted to pick it up for the last 3-4 so. Wanted to get low 8s or sub 8. Ended up hitting 3 at around 7:40-45 and last was 8:20.

So hit 8:22 AP and felt pretty good about it. After showering I had aout 30 mins before ultimate frisbee started. So went and played 5 on 5 for an hr. Wasn't too bad really. Cramped my calves a couple times when I did some sprints.
