A clydesdale no more!

Felt good this morning.  Left hamstring started to tighten up half way through the run but it is nothing serious.  Now that I got my first race this year under my belt, I'm hoping that things will start to turn around and I can really start to improve.

Total Time: 1:06:29 (7:23/mile) 

I felt very tired this morning.  The run itself was alright.  Nothing exciting to report.

Total Time: 1:17:38 (7:41/mile) 

Today was a very blah run.  I just put it in cruise control and ran my regular 9 mile loop.  With 1 mile to go I was only 15 seconds behind the 7:30 guy so I picked up the pace a little during the last mile.  I was very tired again this morning.  I really need to get to bed a little earlier.  Five hours of sleep just isn't enough.

Total Time: 1:06:52 (7:26/mile) 

I decided to take it really easy this morning.  It was snowing and I didn't have a ton of energy so I just put in a few easy miles.  I guess that it's better than not running which is what I wanted to do.

Total Time: 47:25 (7:54/mile)
 

Ran 5 miles before having to take my son to orchestra practice.  I put in 4 more miles while he was at practice.  I really hate splitting runs up like this.  There was a 30 minute break between the 2 runs and I had a hard time getting back into a groove during the second run.  I had an intense craving for Cinnamon Toast Crunch during the last 4 miles for some reason.  Sometimes I get really random cravings during runs.  

Met up with the running club this morning.  The course they decided on has a pretty tough climb in the middle of it.  I guess that it is good practice for next week's Striders 10k.  The weather was a little dreary but it had somewhat of a calming effect.  I felt pretty good during the run except my hamstring started to tighten towards the end.  Still going with the 5 hours of sleep per night which is starting to take it's toll.
