Clyde's Comeback!

I finally got out to run again. It was weird walking out the door in short shorts. I thought when I left the house that I'd be dead in one mile but I did the GS tail loop and really felt pretty good. I guess there is a little shape left. The goal for the week is to just get one run (regardless of length) in every day. It's been a few weeks since I've pulled that off. It was simply amazing out on the run. I didn't go until 10 a.m and it just feels like heaven outside. I had the shirt off and while coming down the trail into Middleton I thought "it feels good to be a runner again"!

A nice little run around town. I went out and was going to take it nice and slow but it was hot out and with hundreds of girls driving by and honking how do you run slow? So I did the 8.25 in 59:07. Not flying by any means but faster than a out of shape/ hurt guys should be going. I ran to the banks to do some deposits for F1 and when I got to the teller windows the deposits were all sweaty... sorry teller girl. Then I made my way back via the store. 

Happy Anniversary to the Hoopers... 9 long years Kendra says.

Did the GS loop today at around 2 p.m and it was warm or maybe hot. I got home and checked the temp to see 83 degrees in my yard. Loving it! I can tell my shape is pathetic right now and it kind of sucks. But the only thing I can do is try and get out every day and change things. I've been running really gentle to try and keep the hammy from acting up. So far this week it's feeling pretty good. So I'll take that to the bank. 

Club run tonight. It's been a few weeks since I've been out with the guys and have been missing a good run. We just kept it nice and easy down to the river then up through Washington to the top of GS and then back- I just turned at the gas station and came home so it was a little farther but not much. Hammy is tender but not killing. I just have to keep the pace slow and really watch things for a while before I'm out of the woods. I really miss being in great shape and having the ability to run as hard and far as I want every day... but everything happens for a reason. Right now I'm loving being a daddy and the NCAA basketball tourney helps things out too. It was 86 this afternoon in the back yard!

Did the church loop this morning. Just short today due to time. I felt pretty good but had to just take things gingerly. I can feel that if I opened up I'd really hurt things again. It is hot... I love nice weather but hot weather is hard. At 4 p.m it was 88 degrees. 

Nice run this morning with Logan. We met at the Dixie Center and ran down into Bloomington then out on the BearPaw trail. We though we might see Dave and the guys but only saw his Jeep. We made our way up the trail to the top and then down through Green Valley and back around to the DC. It was a picture perfect morning for a run. Plus unlike days of old we didn't meet until 8:30 a.m. So we got to sleep in as well. We both are trying to come off an injury and this was a nice smooth run to aid in the process. Total time was 1:40:19
