Total Distance

Allergies, and being totally wiped out kept me home this morning. I actually got up at 6 and got dressed to run but just felt horrible so I got back in bed. Hopefully after what is set up to be a long day at work I'll be able to get a few miles in tonight.

13.1 mile run this afternoon. We worked until around 1:30 then I did a loop out in Ivins and Santa Clara. It felt hard to push out 7:20 pace for the first like 8 miles and I was getting really upset that maybe something was generally wrong. Then after my garmin beeped at 8 I started to hit 6:30 pace and it felt easy.... I don't know what's going on. Don't tell me I now need a 8 mile warm-up to get going.

Man, everyone is getting this stuff! Just relax and get better pal.

Hope you start to feel better. Steve said you were planning the run tomorrow from the Dixie Center. How far are you planning on going? I've been very busy this week with Dr. Ed after school so I've slacked off a little. Hoping to do a tempo run tonight and still feel good enough to do a longer run tomorrow.

From Steve Hooper on Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 11:27:42

Dustin - I would suggest holding off on your tempo run tonight - save it for tomorrow.

Clyde, you need to read Steve's blog! I think those guys are questioning your running ability!

One issue could be that you've raced twice in the last four weeks so some fatigue could be the cause.

I've raced twice in the last four weeks and I think I'm having some fatigue or over-training issues. I don't know just my thoughts.

Good points Kory. I'm looking forward to a taper before the striders half marathon.

Clyde way to go, it was good seeing your blog here, I don't know if you remember me,I was your EQ pres. in middleton. Keep up the good work, I just barely squeaked out two miles and I am dying so it is nice to see someone doing so well. See ya Ryan
