A clydesdale no more!

I absolutely hated missing my run on Saturday.  Especially since it was the only nice day we have had this year.  I guess I have to accept that running sometimes has to take a back seat to other things.  Lots and lots of rain this morning.  The temperature was nice which made it easier to tolerate the rain.  I had some ankle soreness but everything else felt really good. 

Warmed up with 3 miles then ran 4 miles at LT.  Almost threw in the towel during the first 1/4 mile because I couldn't get my legs to turnover very well.  Decided to just push through it and see what would happen.  Splits were 6:36, 6:33, 6:36 and 6:26.  Last mile was aided so it really wasn't that much faster than the others.  Pace was a little slower than I wanted. 

Nice and easy recovery run.

Felt really tired when I woke up and did not feel ilike running.  Ran from home to Bountiful Blvd. to get in some good hill work. Didn't feel like I pushed as hard as I did last week but the splits were only a little slower.  Time was 35 minutes going up and 28 minutes coming down.

Should've run but didn't.  Right kidney is very sore.  Not sure if it is an infection, stone or something else. 

Becky ran the Girls on the Run 5k at Sugar House park so I decided to run from home to the park to get the mileage in for the day.  Averaged 7:45/mile and felt good most of the way.  The section along Beck Street is beyond ugly but I really liked running through downtown SLC.  Added an extra 1.5 miles running back and forth at the park to see Becky at various points.  She set a PR (24 minutes) and took 3rd place overall.
