A clydesdale no more!

I could not get into a flow this morning.  Nothing felt quite right during the run then I had a really nasty hot spot on my tibia during the last mile.  Just one of those days, I guess.

My ex was taken to the hospital last night for diabetic ketoacidosis and I was at the hospital until 2 a.m.  With only 2 hours of sleep last night I knew that running too much this morning would be a mistake.  Felt as lousy as I expected but am glad to get a few miles in.  She will be fine.  She just needs to spend a couple of days there to get her body back on track.

Felt a little better this morning.  I have been trying to make Wednesdays speed days but I wasn't feeling it today so I just ran easy.  Maybe tomorrow.

I felt alrightish this morning.  I decided to take it easy this week and not worry about a speed workout.  I was able to maintain a decent pace during the run and the effort felt good.  Had some funny twinges in my legs but nothing too serious.

I was up late again last night and got out the door a little late this morning so I wasn't able to get in a full run.  I think that the lack of sleep this week has finally caught up with me because I had absolutely no energy during the run.  Kept the pace easy and just enjoyed being outside in the nice weather.  My ex is out of the hospital so things should get back to normal now.

Wasn't sure if I would be able to get in 15 this morning but I'm tired of making excuses for cutting runs short so I vowed to go the distance.  Felt good the entire run.  The pace was slow but that is part of the plan while I try to build up the weekend mileage.  I will probably stay at 15 on Saturdays for a couple of weeks then jump up to 18.  The weather was amazing this morning.  It was good to be out there for 2 hours alone with my thoughts.  I also had fun watching everybody riding the SLC 100 mile bike ride (5 miles of my run were on the course).
