A clydesdale no more!

Woke up at 2 and couldn't go back to sleep.  Headed out the door and needed to burn off some negative energy.  Legs felt good and were moving well.  A song came on the radio that inspired more positive feelings and I dropped the pace for the next few miles.  Turned out to be a good run.  The temperatures were in the 30's which makes running a lot easier.  The fresh layer of snow made everything seem clean and crisp.

Woke up late so I could only get in a few miles.  I guess I made up for not getting enough sleep the night before.  Debated whether or not getting in 4 miles was worth getting dressed for.  If it were later in the week I may have taken the day off but just didn't feel right about it so I headed out the door.  Felt pretty good during the run.  

Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 4 at tempo pace.  I wasn't in the right place mentally to maintain the proper focus during the run.  I continually tried redirecting my thoughts but they kept going to the same place.  Splits were: 6:34, 6:32, 6:37, 6:37.  The pace was alright but I don't feel like I put as good of an effort in as I should have.  

Went outside with no plan.  Just wanted to go wherever my legs took me.  Ended up running up 1800 South to the mouth of Mueller Park canyon.  Good, hilly run.  Felt good going up and coming back down.

Just a nice and easy run.  The back of my right legs was a little sore (top to bottom) so I figured it needed a little rest. 

Got a late start so was only able to get in 10 miles at 7:24/mile.  I am going to try to get out for a long run tomorrow.
