Clyde's Comeback!

It was a beautiful 60 f this afternoon here in Dixie when I went out at 3 p.m. Once running I was hot but it felt amazing. I dropped Myler off at grandmas and ran from her house down around Bloomington and back on the trail. I had to stop over at St. George Ford to get the other set of keys to a car I bought on Saturday. The run was great with no hammy pain. I stayed at a pretty consistent pace of 7 min miles but did roll from the bottom of Bloomington up to River Road at around 6:30 pace. Roughly 4 miles. Nothing snappy but a little faster turnover to help push the avg for the run down to 6:56. Feeling really good about training right now and that makes me smile more than Mc Donalds does. 

Out and back run today over to the DC pushing Myler in the jogger. The temps were lovely again and really gave me a rush of spring fever. I just took things smooth as to try and not aggravate the hammy at all. Myler enjoyed the ride and fell asleep after two miles and didn't wake up until we had about a mile to go. It was a great run and fun to see so many people out running, walking or biking on the trails. 

Ran over to Webb hill and did 3 repeats up it with Logan. They sucked big time. I was dead on the first one and hit it in 8:18. Then on the second I felt a little better but the time was slower at 8:20. The third was hard from the start and was the slowest at 8:30. None of these were at all out effort. In fact we just ran them at around regular 7:15 effort on a flat road. Then I extended around the Knolls on the way home to round it off at 12. Good workout but a hard one for my present shape. 

B-hills inner loop this morning. Legs and body both felt trashed... dead! But managed to make the rounds. I won't be able to go to the club run tonight as I forgot and scheduled a run in Hurricane with my uncle. So if anyone is out there at 5 I'll be doing 5 miles as a slow and easy pace. 

Ended up not going to Hurricane and then just felt like not running here with the club either. Just kind of trashed and tired. So a evening at home resting for then next two days of longer runs.  

Nice longish run this morning. Up early so I could finish before Mik'L went to the office. I took the new parkway out around by SunRiver and then followed the river trail up to and then around through B-hills back home. I felt pretty good but never pushed it. Just hung out around the 6:50 and 7 min guy the entire run. Only one potty stop and I ate Taco Bell last night. Now to rest up for another longer run tomorrow. 

2 loops out at little black mt with the guys. We had a good chat and made our way around the first lap. Then hit the truck and hydrated then went back out. On the second loop we took the first 5 miles really easy... maybe slower than on the first lap. After that we started to lay down some tracks. Logan and I were feeling it with some nice smooth strides as we rolled back at around a 6 min mile avg. It was nice to finish off a strong week with a strong run. Feeling like I'm getting closer to were I want to be before the race on the 13th of Feb.
