Okay, so starting this week I will have to kick my own butt a bit more. Went to Sabino and did the usual route which was surprisingly easier this time around. I saw some of the BR group but didn't run with them, unfortunately. The hills will do me some good for the upcoming Saguaro East race - I officially registered this morning!! Wish me luck, blog readers.

Solo Boot camp work out at Reid Park. I was surprisingly energetic and saw Jeff going around the park as well, which was encouraging for me.

Once around the park because I was worried about something that happened at work the previous day :-(

Reid Park. I was late joining the Blue Pants group so I decided to just run around it twice instead.

Sabino-rino again. I really love this run. Today, I was huffing and puffing up the last big hill when this biker behind me told me I was going 6.5 miles per hour. I responded by telling him "hey, its better than zero".

Did the entire Sabino Canyon paved road. That hill at the end is tough but what a great workout. I'm hoping to do this route more than once a week so I can get my stamina up to potentially do the Saguaro Nat'l Park 8 miler.

Hard workout today around the track - we did 1 minute, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 of running with 1 minute breaks inbetween of easy jogging. I was winded!!

5 Miles around Reid Park. I have this strange "popping" feeling in my hip and I think thats due to insufficient stretching before and after workouts.

Got my butt handed to me at the track today. Great workout though, and I can see that I need to keep coming back! We did 5 x 1000 's.

Ran up in the South Mountain Park. The trail is really rocky, which is bothersome after a while, but there are some great hills which make this trail worthwhile.

Ran up in Ahwatukee around my folks' neighborhood. Not a very interesting run, but a good way to get some miles in.

Hiked Blackett's Ridge in Sabino! I was super tired and thought I'd become a permanent mountain dweller, but I finished it okay. No running miles put in.

Ran the canals with Lazlo - it was a nice and pretty flat course but I have some work ahead of me in increasing my pace.

Reid Park again. Even though the main road is still half closed, that big hill in the beginning is a great workout.

Humid day out in Reid Park, but great workout. I drank a little coffee before I started running and I think it gave me a little extra energy. Don't know if that's a GOOD habit though. Got really dirty.
