14 easy miles.  Legs very sore.  I fell like I've ran a marathon after every run.  It's getting a little discouraging.  Not being able to do speed is making me doubt if I'm going to be able to PR in logan. 

I'm half wishing I wouldn't have ran Bryce now, because my real goal was to PR in a marathon this year.  I hope I've still got it in me. 

14 easy miles.  Legs felt a littel better today than yesterday, but still heavy and sore. I hate recoverying. 

I felt better towards the end.  I'm going to lay low this week and not do any speed or tempo.  It's killing me not to because I not it's going to effect me in Logan.  I better let my body heal properly or I won't be running it at all.

I'm scheduled to put in 86 miles this week, a new career high for myself.  I'll see how the body responds.  I think I should be ok on the miles. I just need to be careful not to push it too much.

326 nimbus.

14 easy miles.  A cool morning.  Clouds and rain throughout the run.  I felt a little better today.  Sped up just a bit the last 1/2 mile.  I think the legs are getting better, but it's going to take some time.

340 miles nimbus.

Another easy 14 miles this morning.  Cloud coverage again, nice.  The legs felt a little better from yesterday.  I was actually running a comfortable pace without any pain. 

I have to slow it down on the down hill, that's when I can feel it. 

10 miles this morning.   I actually felt pretty dang good.  It felt like the way a run should feel.  My legs were light and didn't hurt.  I sped up some on the down hills and flats and didn't feel any pain.  I finished strong and felt great.

Hopefully a sign of things to come.  I getting excited again about running.  I've got a 20 miler tomorrow that I'm not very excited about. 

20 miles at 5am.  Glad to be done for the week.  A new weeks high of miles for myself at 86 miles for the week. 

The week started off bad, but I gradually felt better as the workouts went on .  The last couple of days and today especially, I felt great.  I didn't seem to feel the weeks miles and finished strong and fairly fast.

I'm going to scale it back a bit for next week.  I'll be in Hawaii with the misses and I think the body could do with a few less miles while I'm there.  I'll hit it hard when I get back and should be ready to resume the speed and tempo.
