Eight miles around Jordanelle with Becky.  Good elevation gain during the first half.  Pace was comfortable and run felt very good.

There was a bit of a chill in the air that I wasn't expecting.  A nice progression run along the LPT.

Felt like an elephant.  My ankles are sore and I wasn't able to push off very well which made me feel very clunky and heavy.  Pace was decent despite the clunkiness.

Short on time so it was a short run.  Almost felt like it would be a waste of time to go out in the freezing rain and only get in a measly 5 miles.  I had to get something in since I missed Tuesday's run.

Started the morning with 3 easy miles then went to Liberty Park to run the Brain Injury Association 5k.  I mysteriously put on 5 extra pounds on Monday putting me at a whopping 190.  I didn't think I would see that on a scale ever again.  It did come down a little but still am feeling a lot heavier than I would like.  There was a really big turnout but it is a pretty non-competetive race.  Some guy from WRC took off at the start and was gone in the blink of an eye.  Started out quick and new it was going to be a slow race.  I checked my watch at what I felt would be the mile and was only 1/2 mile into the race.  Not a good sign at all.  First mile was 6:00 but I was rapidly slowing.  Was passed by a guy just past the first mile and could not keep up with him.  Second mile was 6:24 followed by another 6:24 for the third mile.  I was doing a lot of grunting during the last mile.  Definitely not a great race but it is what I expected.  The most frustrating thing is that this was my tempo pace last year.  Maybe I will let my weight continue to go up so that I can start racing in the clydesdale division.  Only 10 pounds to go.
