Clyde's Comeback!

10 miles on the freeway/ tempo course. I just took it smooth and EZ. Although it was really hard to get anything going today. There is zero soreness in the legs but that doesn't mean they feel like running. It will most likely take a few days of the heavy legs to feel it again. 

7 miles this afternoon over in Hurricane with my uncle. Pace was slow but consistent. This was the longest I've gone with Don. He's doing great. 

Actually pre blogged that I ran my normal loop but then went out and ended up doing the DC/ River road loop. So a couple more miles than the original post. It was windy in almost every direction.

6.6 miles this afternoon but with the wind it was at least a 10 mile effort. Really had to work to keep the legs moving into a strong headwind for about 4 of the miles. The rest of the run was in kind of a crosswind. So it's hard to say how the legs really felt. 

River Road/ DC loop. It was fairly calm this morning. Thank heavens... I couldn't take another windy run right now. Kept the pace faster than EZ but not tempo. Legs are kind of tired from the sudden increase  back to training mileage after the last couple weeks of tapering and recovering. But I'm sure they'll work through it. I wore gloves because it was like 44 F when I left but by 5 miles with the sun out and beating down I was overheating. 

5.6 miles tonight around the inner B-hills loop. Legs felt kind of tired but they turned over well out on the street. Just trying to take it one run at a time. 

Middle B-hills loop this morning.

10 miles on the normal loop extended to 10 in in the parking lot. It was hot and my legs were tired. So by the halfway point I was close to cutting across the bridge and calling it. But I kind of pushed through. No watch but it was pretty slow. 

Out into the fields then across River Road around the trial and back home via the gas station on River Road. A pretty good little loop right around that 10 mile length. Legs felt heavy and slow but ended with a 7:04 avg 1:11 for the run. I guess the first 3 really were slow at just under 8 min pace. The headwind heading from the fields west down into B-hills kind of trashed me. Came home and was under 150 lbs so I'm pretty dehydrated... guess I'll put down a few Powerades today. 

4.4 miles this afternoon around the Little Valley loop. Windy and hard to run in. 

Planned on running 20 miles out at Little Black mountain with Logan. I set my alarm for 6 a.m and got up... Logan never showed. I guess he got home a lot later than expected. Once he wasn't coming I wasn't into doing it a lone. Mik'L and I had to go to Vegas for the whole day so I just decided to back off and rest as I've ran hard all week. Plus we got out of town a little earlier.
