Clyde's Comeback!

8 mile run this morning on the GS loop and back the long way through Middleton. The rainy overcast has made the temp very nice so it was a lot easier to get out this morning even though it was still dark.

8 more miles this afternoon before practice. Just easy up into the reserve and down around GS. Left hammy is still sore but not too bad.

It's half time in the game and I'm going to bed. I can't stand the thought of watching LSU win- and with the way Ohio St. is playing I'm not going to look.

9.2 miles this morning. GS/Powerline and the long finish. A little colder this morning but still not bad. The left hammy is very tight walking around the house but as I get out and run it doesn't seem to bother me. So I'll try not to aggravate it and just take the pace fairly easy.

8 mile run this afternoon. It's a lot more like winter today than it was last week. I prefer the wet, warmer weather. Went out on a pretty empty stomach and within 3 miles of starting the run all I could think about was coming home and eating everything in the house. Then my excitement for food turned to fatigue. I was so low on fuel I could hardly keep going. Anyways I managed to make it back and started in on some granola and yogurt.

11 mile morning loop. Up through the industrial park to the water tank and then looped around GS back home. I miss calculated my timing because when I got the water tank (4.5 miles in to the run) it was still dark. So once I hit the trail going was slow until I could see better. Nice way to start the day. The weather is misty and wet out... but a little warmer than the day before.

5 more miles on the treadmill after wrestling practice. After a mile warm up I did one of the miles at 12% incline and then brought it back down before I passed out. I'll call that my hill workout for the month.

In all seriousness I need to start getting a good hill workout in once a week.

Ran up to the new Washington overpass and around through Dog Town and then up the Mill Creek trail until it cuts off to GS- Then down through GS and back home.

The rest of my week will be touch and go getting in runs. I have a wrestling duel tonight and then a tournament Friday and Saturday.

Same run as yesterday morning. Really didn't want to get up and go out in the dark today. But once I was out running I felt very good and was able to get into a good gear. It's kind of fun getting back into shape- and remembering what it's like to be able to find a good stride and stay with it.

8 cold, dark and slow miles before I left for Cedar this morning. If we finish early enough this afternoon I may get out again.
