8.6 mile run this morning. After a few days of a lay off I decided I'd get back out and try it. This run went like every other run I've done after a few days off. Kind of started out really tight all over, had stomach issues, felt kind of lurpy most of the run and took way longer than it should have. But other than that I felt pretty good and enjoyed the warm morning sun, with hints of spring everywhere. My hammy wasn't really that bad but I could feel a deep grind and I'll really have to watch it for a while.

7.3 mile run this morning. I just missed a hail storm so that was nice. The hammy is tight but as long as I go slow and controlled I can get through a run. I'll try to keep single weekday runs under 9 or so miles and keep trying to catch 2 a day when I can. I'd like to just hang around 80 mpw for a month or so if the body will allow.

7.8 miles around the outer GS loop tonight. As long as I take things slow I think I'm o.k (knock on wood). Last week I did 4 miles on the treadmill one night and got going a little too fast and I think thats what started the hammy hurting again. Anywho I felt pretty good tonight and was happy to see James H. out on his run too.

8.6 mile run this morning. I did the long GS loop in 1:10. It's slow going as most of it is on trails and uphill. Last night it rained most of the night and it made things pretty muddy this morning too. My hammy was tight and I started to wonder if this is even worth it anymore... It seems my drive to fight this injury is decreasing every day but I'm too scared to stop running for loss of fitness so the battle goes on.

I'm kind of pumped to jump into some painting projects here at home today to take my mind off of running. I also tore the old gold and glass shower door out yesterday and the bathroom looks 10 times better. Mik'L wants to switch all the gold fixtures out for brushed nickel... it does look a lot better so far.

I felt like poo tonight and didn't run. I still had to take the YM to an activity and we went to Marley and Me a show about dogs... I cried and it was really sad over, and over again. Dogs are so special!
