I think that spring is finally here.  I know that I run the risk of jinxing us but I'm willing to take that chance.  It seemed like my legs didn't want to cooperate this morning.  There were only mildly sore but I could not get them to move very well.  Averaged 7:45 running into the wind and 7:20 running with the wind.  I'm starting Kathie's push up challenge today.  I did 30 push ups during the initial test yesterday so I am starting in week 3.  I did column 3 today but am not sure if I will be able to handle it and may move to column 2.

I just realized I forgot to log this morning's run.  It was such a boring, uneventful run that it didn't seem like it really happened - just going through the motions.

I started a little further north on the LPT than I normally do so that I could check some of the other mile markers.  Started a quarter mile before the 6 mile marker and ran out to the 10 mile marker.  All mile markers seemed to be right on.  The 7.5 mile marker registered short on my Garmin because of the tunnel I had to run through but I'm pretty sure it is where it is supposed to be.  It took a couple of miles for my legs to warm up but once I got going they felt good.  After the run, I did week 3, day 2 of the hundred push up.  I alwasy struggle with the last set and can barely make it to the minimum.  I guess it's not supposed to be easy.

Why are my legs sore?  I took it easy because my ankle, achilles, hamstrings and knees were sore.

Turned today's run into another easy one.  I just meandered through a few neighborhoods then headed down to the LPT and ran on the dirt trail then headed back home (thank goodness for the Garmin).   Will do week 3, day 3 column 3 of the push up challenge later today.

I woke up and really did not want to go running.  I almost bagged it but decided to drag myself out of bed and drive up just run with the club with out any extra mileage.  I got there a few minutes early so I got in a quick mile.  Trevor wanted to run the entire route this week which was good because instead of running the first 2.5 hard then backing off I was able to run a good consistent effort the entire run.  After a slow first mile, we maintained a little slower than 7:00/mile the rest of the way.  It was a good effort and felt really good.  I'm glad I convinced myself to go.
