A clydesdale no more!

Just wanted to get out and get in a few quick miles.  Nothing exciting.

Total Time: 34:15 (6:51/mile) 

The cold weather is really starting to move in.  Since my shoes are still wet from last week, I decided to test out the Asics a bought a few months ago that I gave up on after 50 miles.  I now remember why I stopped wearing them.  They felt clunky and I started to develop a hot spot on one of my heels.  Other than that, I felt alright.

Total Time: 59:54 (7:29/mile) 

Thought of running up to Eaglewood golf course.  As I approached the train tracks, there was an Amtrack train stopped, blocking the intersection.  I waited for a couple of minutes and there was not signs that it was going to move.  I thought that I would run along the tracks past the front of the train to get around it.  I tripped over some barbed wire so gave up on that and backtracked along the road.  Only made it 1 mile up Eagleridge Drive before having to head back home.  It was kind of an odd run and never really got in a groove.  Started to run out of energy at the end which I attribute to being low on fuel because I didn't eat much yesterday.

Total Time: 1:11:38 (7:58/mile) 

Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 3 miles at a little slower than tempo pace.  Energy was low so I really couldn't get going as quickly as I wanted to.  Averaged 6:38/mile but it was more work than it should have been.  Cooled down with 3 easy miles.

Total Time: 1:06:57 (7:26/mile) 

Took it easy today.  Had a hard time getting out the door but felt good once I got going.  

Total Time: 46:19 (7:43/mile) 

My wife is out of town so I had to do the loops around the neighborhood again.  My knees were very sore when I woke up and it took a while for them to loosen up.  For the first couple of laps around the neighborhood, my head felt very fuzzy.  I'm not sure what the deal was but it was a very strange feeling.  Eventually, I was able to shake the fuzzy feeling and the last few laps felt better.

Total Time: 1:8:59 (7:40/mile) 

It took everything I had to fight off all of the excuses not to run today and get myself out the door.  It's kind of hard to explain but it feels like there is a void that running isn't filling anymore.  Once I got out the door and was warmed up, I felt better.  Had to stick to the neighborhood loop again because my wife is still out of town.  It's a 1.4 mile loop and isn't as boring as I expected it to be.  Maintained a little quicker pace than I normally run.  Physically, I felt pretty good except my kness are still a little achy.
