A clydesdale no more!

Just your run of the mill GA run.  Perfect running weather.  This is the best time of the year.

Out and back on the LPT.  Legs feel a little heavy.  Mentally, the run went by pretty quickly.  That's the last mid-week medium long run this training cycle. I'm happy to have those out of the way.

Felt very good during the run other than a little left knee soreness during the first mile. My weight was ridiculously high this morning.  Hoping it is just a blip and it comes back to a reasonable level.

Supposed to be an easy 5 but I am taking the day off.

Started with 3 easy miles and felt yucky.  The plan says to run a tune up race but I just ran a 4 mile tempo run instead.  First mile was slow (6:32) but then got into a groove and ran the rest in 6:24, 6:24 and 6:19.  The last 3 felt decent although my chest is feeling a little heavy.  

Started the morning with a 5k with the kids at Ashton's school.  Ashton ran on alone, I ran with Gracie and Emma ran with her mom.  Ashton pr'd by over 5 minutes (27 something), Gracie pr'd by 4 minutes (31 something) and Emma finished her first 5k. They all did much better than I thought they would.  During the last 1/2 mile, Gracie said "I can't" quite a few times then took of sprinting for the last 1/4 mile.  I didn't have my Garmin but the pace was around 6:45/mile.  I told her that "I can't" has to me removed from her mind. 

After the race, I did a 14 mile out and back on the Legacy trail.  The run was really bad.  I had heart burn, I had no energy and it was warmer than I liked since I got a late start.  Glad I got the bad run out of my system so it won't be there in 2 weeks.
