AM-  I went on a loop down by Smith and up around Rose Crest and down Juniper.  My foot is still way sore, but the run didn't seem to bug it at all luckily.  I slept with my strassburg sock on last night to stretch out my foot, it seemed to help.  I slept like crap last night though, last least I was lying in bed for 2+ hours before I fell asleep.  I felt okay on my run though.  7:39 pace for the run.

PM-  I went out in the heat with a workout in mind and felt super sluggish and kind of sick to my stomach.  I did push through some decent tempo though and had a good run.  I ran over to Butterfield Park and ran tempo from there to right before Smiths (2 miles).  My first mile was 5:48 and the second was 5:34.  I felt good once I started into my tempo other than the stomach was unsettled.  I could really feel the heat at 85 degrees, I know I am a wimp right now.  I ran up Rose Crest and back the same way as this morning.  The last half mile I busted out a 2:35 to give me 2.5 miles of tempo and a 6:59 average for the run.  It took me forever to get cooled down after this run, my face felt flushed for quite a while.  No pain in my foot on my runs which is good.  6.5 miles

Well this was my last day of summer and now I am back to school for training tomorrow, BIG BUMMER!

Hope that foot gets feeling better. It's been good to see that you've been able to catch some run lately. Keep it up man.

Thanks! It is good to be able to run again mostly pain free. I am pretty nervous about St. George though. I have only run 776 miles this whole year, and low mileage me usually has that much in April or May. So my base is very small and I have run zero races in the last year, yikes!

What about you, are you doing St. George? I haven't even looked to see who is registered this year.

I'm running STG but not as a race. I may end up pacing some guys down here for a BQ at around 3:00. But I'm not ready for racing yet.

How about you come pace me at about a 2:35, that is probably where I'll be at?:)
