10.7 miles this morning. I was slow getting around this morning, and not just running. I slept in until 7 a.m and it took one hour to get out of the house and get the run started. I don't drink alcohol but sometimes I wake up and feel like I could have a hang over from something. I guess in this case it was the 7 or 8 slices of pizza, and the shake with (2 bananas, frozen yogurt, soy milk, peanut butter, and Nestle Quick) that I had for dinner last night. So the run was just laid back and I tried to just relax and listen to the ipod. I only run with it once in a while and today it was a must. My legs felt really heavy and the quads were sore which is rare. (New Landreth- 139.2) 7.3 mile run this evening. It had rained pretty hard and I thought this would be a nice time to go up on the trails a look for turtles. So I was running up the trail scanning everything in places where I've spotted them before and I had this feeling like: It would be cool to see a baby one and I started looking at everything a little closer and about .2 farther up the trail I saw a tinny little turtle. Maybe just a little bigger than an egg. It's neck and legs where as little as a straw. I could have stepped on it so easy. It makes me wonder how many turtles that small have I ran by before. It was really cool to see out there in the wild. I hope the little guys makes it. The running part was ok. My legs are really sore and dead. I'm guessing Saturday and Mondays runs right on top of each other did the trick. I'm really having some delayed soreness. I did a few more today so tomorrow can be shorter as I'll be working in Mesquite... again although it's a different project than last week.
