A clydesdale no more!

I just realized that I now have over 600 miles on my shoes.  No wonder my legs feel so beat up.  I have various aches and pains throughout my legs.  You would think that I would have learned my lesson the last 5 times that I have done this.  Kept the pace relatively easy (7:40/mile).  

Tempo Tuesday.  Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 5 miles at LT.  First 2 miles were a little erratic (6:30, 6:20) then settled into a pace (6:26, 6:28, 6:28).  The last 2 miles were a lot of work.  I really had to focus to maintain the pace. I felt pretty lousy as I headed out the door so I kind of expected to struggle.  It was much better than I thought so even though it was a lot of work, I am happy with the run.  Cooled down with an easy mile.

I lucked out and found a pair of Brooks Adrenaline at Sports Authority on sale for $59.  Probably should have bought a few pair.

I was on the Provo 1/2 website and it said it was closed but allowed me to register.  What are the chances that I am actually registered?  I would hate to drive out there and find out that I'm not actually signed up.

Super easy recovery run. Blah!

The blah continues.  My narcolepsy kicked in last night and I couldn't keep my eyes open.  Fortunately, my girls where with their grandma last night so I didn't have to worry about being neglectful.  I felt wiped out when I woke up this morning too.  Didn't want to run but went out anyway.  I only went 7 and felt run down most of the time.  Glad I got my bad run for the month out of the way.

Almost forgot, Kathie, Teena, Smooth - I need Park City restaurant recommendations.

Feeling a little better today.  It took a while to get going but started to feel something resembling a spring in my step toward the end of the run.  It was a nice morning although it was a little warm.  Hopefully all of the marathoners are surviving.

Felt decent today.  It was overcast and every once in awhile it would rain a little which was nice.  Legs still do not feel like I want them to.  Maybe I'm expecting too much.  Running hasn't felt natural in a long time and I'm starting to think that this is how it is supposed to feel and the feeling that I am looking for does not exist.  Anyways, the run started slow and I gradually increased the pace throughout the run.  I kept the mileage low because I have a few races coming up and want to feel a little fresher going in to them.
