Ether 12:27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

Body composition 181.2 lbs 10.0% - 17.0%.  Rest yesterday had older girls soccer and didn't want to kill myself.  Actually a little surprised I got the run in this morning.  Ran on the TM at Treehouse on 1% incline.  All of corner canyon is filled with smoke from fire so I didn't want to approach it.  Felt very tired a first but HR was low.  I think some people have referred to that as Neural Fatigue.  My time was 1:03:04 my HR was 152/162.  I was glad to have it over.  I felt like I got caught up on sleep and I ate well probably just still tired from Hobble Creek.  Still pretty happy about that.  I am really looking forward to St. George just hoping I can still fit in my two 20 + days this weekend before I head up with my 3 oldest to Jackson and on the 13th of Sept which is picture day for one of my teams and I am supposed to run the 5 man marathon relay with my wife's friends and her.  That is beginning to seem like more off a challenge then an opportunity. Oh well I hope the air clears out for tomorrow. Still popping the Ibuprofen.

Body composition 180.4 lbs 10.7% - 17.8%. Ran at the Treehouse again on a treadmill at 1% grade 12 miles warmed up over 1.5 then averaged 8.1 until the 6.5 mile mark then slowed it down to 7.5 miles (8 minute miles) the last 5.5 it took 1:33:06 minutes.  HR was 160/170.  I stretched out did some core work and went to work ate a little and 2 ½ hours later was back at the gym doing the spinning class.  54:18 on the bike with a HR of156/167.  That was pushing it pretty good on the bike.  3 minutes later I felt rested and ready to go again but back to work. 

 

My Achilles felt looser today then yesterday.  But still more noticeable after the run then it was after the bike.  Still popping Ibuprofen.  I think I will give the air one more day before going outside.

Body comp 179.4 lbs 11% to 17.7%.  Probably haven't been eating quite enough but I am still hoping to lose weight before St. George.  Ran 10 miles on TM at Treehouse on 1% incline went pretty slow HRM wasn't working right but I would guess 150/158.  Right Achilles pretty tight the first 3miles but it started to loosen after that took 1:20:47 minutes.  After words cooled down with a .3-mile walk.  Followed up with 15 minutes of stretching.  Took 4 Ibuprofen when I got to work.  It is starting to feel wonderful outside the smoke has subsided so I will probably run out there a little although I do worry more about the right wheel on the pavement.  37 days until St. George.

Body comp 181.4 lbs 9.% - 16.4% BF.  Ate well yesterday and felt energized.  Didn't move a whole lot during Soccer practice ended up taking 2800 MG of Ibuprofen yesterday.  Spent time massaging and icing right Achilles thought it felt better.  Woke up this morning when Nathan wet his bed. Got ready to go.

I ran on the Draper Canal trail.  The Tendonitis was terrible especially the first three miles.  HRM was way off the thing is a piece of crap and it is driving me crazy.  7 miles very slow.  I would guess my HR was 131/148.  I did the last one a little quicker so it went up a little.  I am starting to get a little frustrated by my ability to do a lot of speed and hills.  I am supposed to run 26 tomorrow but I will see how it goes.  I told Suzanne she could come with me for 6-10 miles, as I'll be going fairly slowly.

Ran a mile around the house then down Draper Canal trail to park and around park.  Stopped for Potty break ran draper days course 6 times started to home and rounded it off to 28 went slow wore Hydro belt lots of GU, fruit leather, power bar and water.  Started very slow though I was going to stop effort 7 because on Nausea and right achilles.  Started feel better but never really pushed it I would guess I was 136/148 but HRM wasn't working.  I think I hate polar I probably need to mail it in again.   

Lost 6.8lbs while I was out but still felt strong at the end.  I think it took be 4:25:00 but I will check again when I log eat and change it next week if it is wrong.  Felt like I could keep going.  Ran a lot of miles in the 8:30 range but the first 4 were over 10 mins.
