Extended GS loop this afternoon. It was just over 80 and a small breeze- Perfect! The breeze was just enough to cool me off but not hard enough to push me around. The run was semi comfortable with the exception of I have no lungs anymore. I'd really like to snap my fingers and be back in the shape of last year but I guess I haven't found my 3 wishes yet. The hammy was really good with only a 1 or so on the pain scale. 

Hope to get things going a little this week as the body will allow. Get the miles at around 65-70.

GS loop extended around Middleton. Actually the same run as yesterday afternoon. I was kind of tight and robotic this morning. Things didn't flow at all and the hammy was kind of sore. This is an endless drama. But it was a beautiful morning and about 7 miles into it I saw another runner up ahead so I pushed the pace to pass and distance myself from this older lady:) I need to get in and have the hips squared up and the lower back snapped into place.

Same GS loop extended around Middleton... it's working for me right now. I felt a lot better than yesterday and had minimal pain in the hammy. I just took it easy and enjoyed the beautiful morning. As I was making my way up the trial I could see a coyote weaving through the bushes about 50 yards in front of me. The neat part was that he hadn't noticed me yet. I had the wind at my face (plus I don't eat that much garlic) so he couldn't smell me. After I got even with him he saw me and look mad I'd caught him off guard but he keep his nose down and didn't leave his morning hunt. 

I tried to keep everything square and ran within my means to prevent anything from hurting later today. All I want to do is hold 5:20 pace for a half or even just go out for an easy 25-30 mile run. But I think those things will have to wait... however the second one might come faster than the first.

I felt a little better today but not good enough to go outside and run. I did clean house in the family Easter egg hunt but we ended up splitting the loot evenly anyways.
