So the VACATION is OVER!  I can't believe that I only ran 11 miles last week!!  Wow I really slacked off, but hey now I am in for the long haul until St. George.  I guess that I will still try and kill my turkey this week, and then run in the evenings. 

We got hoime from St. George and went to a BBQ and then we came home and I mowed the lawn and then headed out for a evening run.  I left the house with no real plan, just run and see how things felt.  I started to get a side ache on the left side of my stomach, at about 1.5 miles but it wasn't bad enough to stop so I kept on going.  It left at about mile 3 and then returned just before mile 5.  I ran out past Osborne Corner and to the bottom of the Tree Road Hill and then turned around.  I thought that I would try and tempo 2 miles and see if that would get rid of the side ache. Mile 6 6:09, side ache is still there but going away.  Mile 7 5:47, side ache is gone and I am feeling good, this pace didn't feel hard until the last .25 but overall I felt fine.  Finished the last 3 miles at a good pace and was surprised at how good I felt after taking a week off.  I hope to get a schedule built this week for St. George, I really didn't have a plan last year so I hope to get something built so that I have something to follow.

I almost didn't get out of bed this morning.  I actually turned off the alarm clock and got back into bed and told Kellie that I really needed to sleep.  I tried going back to sleep for about 10 minutes, but it just wasn't going to happen so I climbed out of bed and headed out the door for an hour run before Kellie and the Heidi's went at 6:00.

I ran out 4 miles towards powerhouse rd and back.  I felt really good this morning and was glad that I got my lazy butt out of bed.  The air was so good this morning, I love the smell of freshly cut hay.  I saw 4 roosters, one of which I could have caught with my hands.  I was surprised to see so many, they are pretty much gone in the state of Utah.  I am starting to think the same thing about turkey's.

So the battle to get out of bed was not quite as bad as Wednesday, but it was still a struggle.  Now that my turkey hunt is over I won't be getting up at 4am every other day!  I ran the same route as Wednesday, out 4 to Powerhouse Rd and back.  I didn't see any pheasants this morning, but I did see 5 deer 4 of which were bucks!  I am really loving the morning temps and weather I wish that it would stay like this all year.  Legs are feeling fresh and I am looking forward to a good season of marathon training.
