Started the morning with a nice and easy 5 miler.  My right hamstring has been sore and I am starting to think it is more than just post race soreness.  Not too concerned but I will keep an eye on it.

Gracie really wanted to run the Woods Cross Memorial day 5k.  I didn't think she was ready and thought it may have been irresponsible for me to let her but figured that we could do the run walk thing if we had to and still do alright.  Emma didn't want to run so she rode her bike. Started the race a little too fast and Gracie did not make it very far before she wanted to take a walk break.  I thought we were going to be in for a long day.  Once I figured out what her pace was supposed to be she did a much better job.  I tried to keep her around 12:00/mile.  I would hold her back when necessary and encourage her to pick it up when she started to fall back.  After the first mile I think she got used to the feeling and realized that she could do it without stopping.  Other than a very short walk break during the second mile, she ran the rest of the way.  With 1/4 mile to go I had her pick it up to 9:00/mile then she sprinted the last 0.1 at below 7:00/mile.  She finished feeling like she had to puke which is what I was hoping for.  Final time was 34:46 which is great considering the only running she does is for soccer.  Emma had a great time on her bike.  It was a fun morning.  Was able to talk to Kathie who had another great race.  She keeps getting faster and faster.

Had an amazing day yesterday so did not have a chance to go to the graves.  Even though it is a day late, I figured running up to the cemetery this morning would be a good thing to do.  Physically, I felt absolutely terrible and not like a runner at all.  Just one of those days.  This is supposed to be the first week of training for St. George but I think that I will hold off for a couple of weeks until I get that feeling back again.

I don't know what the deal is but I am not firing on all cylinders when it comes to running.  I will continue to take it easy until it comes back.  At least the mornings are beautiful so it does not feel like a chore to get outside.

Ugh!  I do not like this feeling.  I wake up every morning feeling like garbage.  I think I remember going through this before.  It may be a bug or just a cycle my body is going through.  I am not sure if it is better to take an aggressive approach and run hard through it or continue to take it easy.  It was quite a battle to get out the door and the desire to run barely won.

Drove to the Farmington cemetery to meet the running club.  Ran 1 mile before the group run.  Ran into along Main street (or whatever it is called) into Bountiful and headed back.  The first half felt really good. I caught on some sleep which really helped. The last half was a little tougher but still felt good.

Went to the UVM volunteer meeting and my kids and I will be at the mile 9 aid station.  If any of you will need something there, let me know.
