A clydesdale no more!

I just couldn't get going.  Nothing felt right this morning. Just trudged through the miles.

I felt terrible this morning.  My head felt very strange.  I have been taking penicillin for an abscessed tooth and I think that may be causing the problem.  Now I'm off to the dentist for a root canal.  What a great way to start off the day. 

I made a feeble attempt at a tempo run today.  After a 3 mile warm up I started into tempo pace.  First mile was 6:37 and second mile was 6:31.  At this point I was feeling light headed and didn't have a lot of energy so I bagged the tempo run half way into the third mile and just ran the rest of the run at a more comfortable pace.  The weather was nice so even though the run was bad it was good to be outside.

Another blah run.  My body is just not feeling like it should.  

I took Kathie's advice and ran a different route.  I threw in some hills to try to jump start my legs.  Ran from home up to Davis Blvd then back again.  Going up felt pretty good but coming down I couldn't quite get in the groove.  Still feeling kind of clunky but not as bad as the past few days.

I had some extra time this morning so instead of getting in extra miles before the club run I waited until the club met to do my full run.  I was up at 6:00 so I should have got the miles in early while it was a little cooler.  Met the club at the rec center but ran solo.  I from rec center to the mouth of Farmington canyon.  It was a really pretty run.  I felt pretty tired during the run.  I know that I have a long ways to go to get back to where I want to be.  Ran the 15 miles in exactly 2 hours (to the second).
