A clydesdale no more!

I'm sick so I took it very easy today.  My throat is really sore and it is impossible to swallow.  I will shift a few of my planned workouts around this week so that I should be able to get in all scheduled runs.

Total Time: 39:12 (7:50/mile) 

I'm starting to feel better but my throat is still sore.  I took my fuel belt along just to keep my throat wet which seemed to help.  The first half of the run felt pretty good but I really started to fatigue towards the end.  I probably ran 3 or 4 miles more than I should have today.  As much as it hurt, it was nice to feel as though I am getting better.

 Total Time: 1:52:46 (8:03/mile)
 

Feeling a little better each day.  I have lost my voice but I feel pretty good physically.  Took it relatively easy today but picked up the pace the last mile.  I actually felt like I had a little spring in my step the last 1.3 miles.

Total Time: 57:08 (7:50/mile) 

It would have been a nice run if I would have waited an hour to go out.  The clouds started rolling in as I was getting home and it was cooling off a little.  Didn't feel particularly great this morning but was able to get the miles in.  My right tibia was a little more sore today than it has been. 

Total Time: 1:36:24 (8:02/mile)

The cloud cover was nice but the humidity is really bad.  Took it super easy today.  All of my runs lately have been really slow so it didn't seem like I needed a recovery run.  Ran out to Farmington bay and back home at a comfortable pace.  Had a hard time figuring out how to get across the Legacy highway construction.  It's a real mess right now.

Total Time: 58:16 (8:19/mile) 

Worst run ever!  Didn't feel well from the start of the run.  My chest felt heavy and my legs were a little heavy.  I thought that once I got going, I would start to feel better but never did.  At 10.5 I actually had to sit down for a few minutes.  My right tibia started to hurt and I figured that I was doing more harm than good so I called my wife to come pick me up.  I was very dehydrated (lost 7 pounds) despite drinking a lot of Gatorade and water during the run.  The only other time that I had to have somebody pick me up was last year on Aug 5.  Very strange that it was almost exactly 1 year ago.  I guess next year I will take the day off.  I was pretty disappointed in myself that I quit.  I'm sure that I could have toughed out the last 2+ miles.  My rationale was that I wasn't really running fast enough for a good workout and felt as though I was risking injury if I continued.

Total  Time: Doesn't really matter.
