A clydesdale no more!

Hard to get the legs moving this morning.  Started to feel better during the second half of the run.  Ran the last mile in 6:50 just to get the legs moving.

I left my running gloves in my car and could not find my car keys.  By the time I found them, I didn't have enough time to get a run in.  A low mileage recovery day was all that was on the schedule so I think I will survive.

Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 4 miles at tempo pace.  Was really reluctant because I did not feel like I was capable of running at a faster pace today.  Turned out better than I expected.  Averaged 6:26/mile and felt surprisingly good.

Is it possible that I am this out of shape? Followed up yesterday's good run with a no energy, just get through it recovery run.  

Felt good during the run despite the snowy conditions.  Pace was a little slower because of the poor footing.  

Still getting used to the longer runs.  I definitely felt better this week.  Maybe it was just because it is warmer.  I slipped on some ice at mile 7 and fell pretty hard.  Took another mile to shake off the stinging in my wrist and knee but seemed to be alright once it worked itself out.  Still a little sore but nothing major.  Also got a "run, Forest, run" comment.  So original.
