A clydesdale no more!

Took advantage of feeling good this morning and ran up to Bountiful Blvd and back.  Kept a good solid effort going up.  I did get lazy a couple of times but snapped out of it relatively quickly.  Focused on a quicker turnover on the way down.  The effort felt a lot better than it has in the past.

A little worn out as I started the run so I figured it would be a short one.  Started feeling better after 3 miles so decided to go the full 8.  Tried to keep it at a good general aerobic pace.  I tend to not run as hard as I should sometimes.

Got out the door extra early so I coud be home in time to register for the Ogden Half.  I have a feeling it will sell out very, very fast.  The run seemed to go by quickly.  It has been a while since a run hasn't seemed to drag on.  Body seemed to be moving better today although I am feeling chubbier than usual.

Miserable run.  Wasn't feeling great when I started so I thought of only doing 10 and getting in a longer run tomrrow.  Felt alright at the turnaround point so I kept going and thought 12 would be good.  Finally decided after 7.5 miles to turn and head home.  Quickly realized that running with the wind was the reason I was feeling so good.  The trip back home into the wind was tough.  I had very little to drink yesterday, didn't drink anything this morning and didn't take anything with me so I ended up a little dehydrated.  Despite all the complaining, I'm glad I got the mileage in for the day.
