A clydesdale no more!

Still fighting the motivation issues.  I wanted to concentrate on my turnover today and see how close to 180 I could get.  I checked my stride rate a couple of times and was around 175.  The turnover felt fast.  I guess this means that it is something that I really need to focus on.  I want to get to the point were 175-180 feels normal.

Total Time: 1:05:26 (7:16/mile) 

Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran a 4 mile tempo run.  Last week, my splits were all over the place so I wanted to keep the splits more even this time.  My legs felt like a ton of bricks - especially my quads.  It felt like a lot of work to maintain my pace but was able to hold a consistent pace throughout the run: 6:29, 6:28, 6:28, 6:25.  Finished with a couple of easy mile to cool down.

Total Time: 1:06:24 (7:23/mile) 

Easy run.  Still have absolutely no energy.  Legs are completely wiped out.  Not sure what the problem is.

Total Time:  47:52 (7:59/mile)

Got a late start this morning and was glad I did because the "scenery" was much better. Ran the Davis Blvd loop. I was a little tired at the start but started feeling a little better as the run progressed. Towards the end, I ran completely out of energy. The run was probably 2 more miles than I should have gone this morning.

Edit: Just stepped off the scale and I am 6 pounds lighter this morning than yesterday.  I'm obviously a little dehydrated.  I think that I have a little bug that is affecting my energy level and caused the dehydration.

Blah.

PM: My wife wanted me to go to the rec center with her so I hopped on the treadmill for a few minutes.  Ran 3.1 miles in 20:31 including the second mile in 6:00.

I felt about as bad during this run as I ever have during any run. There was just nothing there. Form felt horrible, my feet were hitting the ground funny and I had no energy. This seems to happen every time I get around 60 mpw. It may be time to step back and reassess things. If I can't maintain the mileage and intensity required to reach my goals then maybe the goals are too lofty for me.

Total Time: 2:18:41 (8:07/mile)
