Almost didn't get out of bed when the alarm went off, then mentally ran through my day and realized I'd be better off getting up and doing it now. Met up with Sasha and did an easy 6 in 49:00. These runs are still making my legs a little sore, but later this week hopefully I'll get up the nerve to up the mileage a bit.

Met up with Sasha and Derek this morning for an easy 6 miler. My legs are starting to feel a little better, tomorrow I'll try to go a little farther. Total time was 48:47, so another slow day. Sasha and Derek did a 1.5 mile pickup, and during that time I picked up the pace to 7:20 and was pleased that it felt as easy as 8:00.

The alarm went off at 5am and I rolled over and went back to sleep. I stayed up till 2am reading "Speaker for the Dead," sequel to "Ender's Game" ..... very addicting.

Anyway, I got my run in at 11:30 and only went 2.... weak, I know. So next week, my goal will be to not only run every day, but to do the runs in the morning. That way I won't skimp out like today.

Ran with Sasha and Derek this morning. 7 easy miles, total time was about 53:xx, so around 7:40 pace. Sasha and Derek did another mile pickup, and once again I declined participation. Maybe I'll join in a week or two, but right now is my injury-prone phase while I'm rebuilding my miles, and a 5:20 mile could easily put me out for a couple weeks.

Had a blood test done in the morning, so I had to push the run back. I procrastinated a little too much and ended up running at 2 am. It was actually really nice... I did the South Provo Loop and tacked on another two miles, and it felt like I had the town to myself.

I liked running late so much last night that I did it again tonight. Another 7 miles, about 7:30 pace, it felt pretty good.
