Felt decent today.  It was overcast and every once in awhile it would rain a little which was nice.  Legs still do not feel like I want them to.  Maybe I'm expecting too much.  Running hasn't felt natural in a long time and I'm starting to think that this is how it is supposed to feel and the feeling that I am looking for does not exist.  Anyways, the run started slow and I gradually increased the pace throughout the run.  I kept the mileage low because I have a few races coming up and want to feel a little fresher going in to them.

I'm right there with you -- Most days of the week my runs feel klunky, tight, and unnatural.

As long as you can get the good feeling during races you'll be just fine. :)

I expect you will do great in your races.

Analysis paralysis? I'm sure the good feeling will come when you race. Which ones are coming up?

I'm with Smooth --

Salt Lake Corporate Games 5K next Saturday, Provo 1/2 the next Saturday (hopefully) then the Top of Utah 1/2 Aug 29. That takes care of August. I need to come up with a September schedule now.
