Clyde's Comeback!

13.3 mile run this morning. I did a version of the standard overpass loop. The legs felt a little heavier than usual. It was sure nice out though. I'll be lounging around the house the rest of the day before the afternoon run.

I'll try and get 120+ miles in this week before doing some kind of a mini taper next week before Del Sol.

 13.3 mile run this afternoon. The same run as this morning. My legs felt a little faster and not so heavy but the stomach didn't. I had lunch and was going to wait for 2 hours to run but I got antsy and left just after an hour.  It just made for some interesting burps and stuff while running. Great day to run.

12.2 mile morning run. Over through the industrial park and up to the water tank. Then down over the powerline trail into GS- around the outside and back home the long way through Middleton. The long uphill to the water tank always reminds me of why I don't like to go that way... but it is a good hill workout. After that I just tried to run nice and easy back home. It ended up being 7:09 pace for the run. Not bad with all the uphills and trails. Today will most likely be a recovery day.

9.3 miles this afternoon. Ran from the house up to the powerline down into GS and around back through Middleton. This was a lot better run than I thought it would be. After a couple really slow miles to get warmed up I started to hit 6:15 pace for the last 5 miles without much of an effort. Just hope to take it one day at a time and continue to feel good.

13.7 mile run this morning. A little drizzly out this morning which helped the weather to fit my mood and pace. I just kept it slow from start to finish. Did the new overpass loop and changed some things around to mix it up a bit. It ended up making the run .6 longer. Hopefully it will clear up so I can get some work done in the back yard.

6.3 miles this evening on the treadmill.  I had planned on going out for an 8 mile loop but it started raining and stuff so I just stayed in and ran on the treadmill. I did a couple miles in each pair of racing shoes I own to see how things are wearing. After analyzing three pair I realized that I really only have one pair that are worth anything. Anyways I felt o.k. and just stopped when I got to the mileage needed for 20 miles for the day.

10.75 mile run this morning. The GS/powerline/industrial park loop. Foggy and wet out this morning. I've been telling Paul that the weather in amazing this time of year... and it's turned kind of dull. Hopefully it will clear up for some of his and Stacy's trip down here.

3 mile mid day run with Paul after putting down some Cafe Rio. I even had a side of Key Lime pie. It is soo good there. At this point the food wasn't doing any real harm and we were just moving right along at around 8:30 min mile pace. Nice easy run with Paul. It's alway nice to run with him.

10.5 mile run with the club. The food I had earlier came back with a iron fist... so I got separated from the group while I stopped for a pit stop. Then I took a detour up around the club house at Sun Brook and then while coming back on the main road I ran back into the guys. I Googled the run that I did and it was 10.6 but I'll call it 10.5 for now until I check it with the GPS. Most of the time Google Earth is pretty close though.

Good to get back out with the club again. It's been a long time since I hit a Thursday run. I'm pumped for spring and summer and the progress everyone had made.

12.1 mile morning run. It was raining out early this morning and I hurt all over so going on a run was the last thing on my mind... but I went and it sucked but I'm glad it's in the bank. (blue cumulus 168.6)

18.2 Run with the club. Dave, James, Paul, and Hayden. We dropped Paul off after he smashed Lybi's 5k time. After we made our way over to Ivins Dave and I picked up the pace and ran a tempo back to the store area and then one mile cool down. The tempo was good about 5-6 miles at sub 6 min pace with the fastest mile being at 5:39 so nothing too fast but a good push. It was the first push or tempo type of run that I've done since last fall I think. Anyway it was a good workout to get ready for Del Sol.

Happy to hit a solid week of mileage. This is my biggest week ever. I was on pace to go over 130 but felt like I may have been asking for an injury so I cut out on my run Friday afternoon.
