A clydesdale no more!

My legs were sore so I decided to run a few miles to shake them out.  After 2 miles I felt really good.  It was quicker than I planned but felt very comfortable.

Confined to the neighborhood loop this morning (1.45 miles per lap).  This is going to be my regular running route most mornings from now on.  My Garmin was dead so the most difficult part of the run was keeping track of the laps.  My legs are a little sore which is most likely due to the long run on Saturday and poor eating habits over the weekend not allowing my legs to properly recover.
 

I had to move my scheduled 15 miler to tomorrow because I had a meeting at work early this morning.  After the run I found out that the meeting was rescheduled for tomorrow.  I feel pretty wiped out so it's probably a good thing that I didn't put in the higher mileage.  The higher mileage over the past few weeks is starting to take it's toll.  I ran laps around the extended neighborhood loop (1.66 miles instead of 1.45 miles). 

I didn't sleep very well last night so I was very tired this morning.  I slept through the first 10 miles.  My legs felt fine but my head was groggy.  The intent of the run was just getting in the miles so the pace was slow.  The last two miles I seemed to wake up and I felt a lot better.

Total Time: 1:36:40 (8:03/mile) 

So much for spring.  It was a blizzard this morning.  Started off with 3 easy miles and tried to decide if I wanted to run the planned tempo run.  Since the tempo portion was going to be into the wind, I decided to only run at Tinman tempo pace.  It wasn't the workout that it should have been but it was still a good run.

Total Time: 1:13:29 (7:21/mile)

Friday's are becoming a problem for me. I just can't get out the door early enough to get a good run in before taking my son to orchestra. I only had time for 5 miles this morning but I'm hoping that I can get out for a few more miles this afternoon between when the kids get home from school and my son's soccer game.

PM

I actually hopped on the treadmill for an afternoon run.  Often times I say that I am going to put in a few miles in the afternoon but usually talk myself out of it.  After 1 mile I realized how stupid it was to be on the treadmill in the garage and facing the wall.  I stopped and turned the treadmill around so I could at least pretend I was running on the road.  I kept the pace really slow because I think that you are prone to injury if you are not used to running on a treadmill and push too hard.  I kind of felt like I was cheating because it is so much easier to run two 5 mile runs than one 10 miler.

Started the morning with 8 miles before meeting the SDRR.  It took exactly 1 hour.  The pace felt very nice and comfortable.  Drove to the rec center because I had to be home early and wouldn't have time to run from the rec center back home.  Ran 8 more miles solo.  I felt really good during the second 8.  Ran a couple of miles under 7:00/mile.

Total Time: 1:57:15 (7:20/mile)
