Clyde's Comeback!

B-hills loop extended up the river trail to River Road. Legs felt pretty good after the race. Quads are a little sore, left hammy is a little sore and my right ankle is sore too. But none are of any real significance. Thru about 7 miles this morning I actually felt great. The last two my quads started to feel fatigued and tight. So in hind sight I should have only did 7. 

Hope to run nice and EZ miles through most of the week or until fully recovered. Plan to keep the mileage around 70 for the week also. 

P.M. Inner B-hills loop this evening pushing Myler in the jogger. Just tried to keep it smooth as to not overdue the legs. Tightness is starting to move out but my ankle is still sore. Not sure what that's all about. Maybe from running at tempo in the lower profile shoes I guess.

Looped out into the fields and around Stone Cliff. Back up River Road to the gas station and then into B-hills and up around back to the house. Pace was EZ but felt smoother than the norm lately... a good thing as I've been feeling pretty robotic. 

P.M. 6 miles this afternoon. Pushed Myler around the inner B-hills loop and extended around the intermediate school. Did the loop in reverse. Nice to be out in sun. 

B-hills extended around River Road and the intermediate school in reverse. Legs felt more sore this morning than any day this week. Right hammy was beggin for some pain pills or something. May not run again today unless the afternoon is just to beautiful to pass up. 

A.M. 4 EZ miles on the treadmill this morning. I decided to drop shift things back down a notch this week. I'm pretty flat right now and need to stick to the EZ plan and stay closer to the 70 mpw I originally planned to do. 

AH EEEEZZZZ!

A.M 2- Loaded Myler and the doggies up in the big jogger and ran over to the park. Let them all run and play for about a half hour and then ran them home. Ready for a little nap.

P.M. 10.6 miles tonight with the club. River loop and stuff. Good group out tonight. Days are getting longer and temps warming up. Had to hit a potty stop in B-hills.

Middle B-hills loop. Slow and EZ in the darkness of the morning. It felt pretty cold too but was 32 F. I'm guessing the humidity made it feel cooler. Right hammy was pretty sore and tight. 

Big workout this morning with a bunch of the guys. We met at my house and did my 10 mile tempo/freeway loop x2. Hit the first lap in 1:10:13. Just tried to run easy and catch up with all the guys on this lap. But about half way through the pace did start to get a little faster than EZ. 

On the second loop I had planned on doing a tempo. The only person who was going to do the full loop with me was Aaron. We took off from my house and Steve came with us for about 2 miles but was only doing 5 miles on that section. We hit solid splits most the way. I didn't want to go "all out" but rather run comfortably hard. Through 6 miles Aaron was only one minute ahead of me. But as we went through the hills of B-hills I was working too hard and faded a little more. He ended up beating me back to the house by 2 min's 10 sec's. I still ran a PR on the course hitting the 10 miles in 58:33 or a 5:51 avg. Last time I did this tempo at the end of December I ran a 59:25. So some good progress even with the race still in my legs from last week. Aaron and I both were pumped about the workout as the course is not easy... really not easy on the second and tempo lap.
