A clydesdale no more!

Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 4 miles at tempo pace.  First 2 miles felt very comfortable (6:28, 6:25) then my legs started to feel sore.  Probably from the race on Friday and 20 miler on Saturday.  Third mile was 6:27 and I started to really struggle during the 4th mile.  Kind of frustrating since I felt so good during the first 2 miles.  Fourth mile was 6:09 which explains why it felt so tough.  I guess that since it was the last mile, I subconsciously increased the effort.  Finished with 3 more miles at an easy pace.

Easy recovery run.

I just saw this commercial for New Balance and thought it was hilarious.  Some may not consider it family friendly but it is funny.
 

I am trying to fight off a cold.  It's more of an annoyance than anything else and I hope it doesn't get any worse.  I've been a little lazy about my pace lately so I tried to keep a little quicker pace today.  Felt good for the most part.

Too sick to run.  Hopefully I will be back at it tomorrow.

Still too sick to run.  

Still struggling with the sickness but wanted to get a few miles in anyway.  It was slow and painful.  I was really low on energy.  Hopefully I will feel well enough to get a long run in tomorrow.
