A clydesdale no more!

Felt tired and yucky this morning.  I will not let this beat me.  I went out and pounded out a good run.  I strapped on my Garmin so I would be forced to keep my pace honest.  Ran the first 3 miles in the mid 7's then ran the last 5 in the low 7's.  Not blazing by any means but it was a good effort and felt good.  I have to get back into the habit of no matter how I feel in the morning, it is going to start with a good run.

Did an easy out and back on the LPT.  Ran the first 6 miles a little slow then started to pick the pace.  Started feeling better and better as the run progressed.  Ran the last mile in 6:55 and it was very easy.  Physically I am starting to feel really good.  I just need to flush out the mental garbage and start seriously training again.  I'm going to jump into Pfitz's plan and follow it through SGM.

Nice and easy recovery run. Felt pretty tired for much of the run but the last mile felt really good so I picked up the pace.

Went to bed in Utah and woke up in Seattle.  At least that is what it felt like.  This weather is crazy.  It was raining very hard this morning.  I was up late working so I was very tired this morning and had a hard time getting out the door.  The first few miles felt very clunky.  I could not get into a groove.  Eventually got going and felt a lot better the second half of the run.  Of course this is when the rain really picked up.  Once I accepted that I could not get any wetter, running in the rain was kind of fun.

Nice and easy recovery run.  Felt great.  My body definitely wanted to move faster than I would allow.  I am trying to figure out how to work the long run in this weekend.  I may have to pull a DonGardinero and run in the middle of the night on Saturday.

 Good luck to everybody running UVM tomorrow.  My kids and I will be at the Deer Creek dam (mile 9) cheering all of you on.
