Clyde's Comeback!

7:04 avg DC loop in reverse. Legs felt ok but on the heavy side. Body is totally sore- to the bone.  We took the boat out on Saturday and I busted out the wake board. The lake temp said 69 F and I also had a new wet suit to try out. I loved both (boarding and the wet suit) and had a blast. But I forgot how jacked the whole body feels the first couple times out each summer- skiing or boarding. You just use muscles that normally don't get use. Nonetheless I'm hurting- abs, bi's, tri's, lats, neck, back, butt... oy!

So the run was so so. The bright side of the run was the Pegasus finally felt good after about 3-4 crappy runs breaking them in. 

4.9 miles tonight out around Silkwood and Little Valley. Just EZ in the hot afternoon sun and breeze. 96 F.

DC loop with a Secret St finish. It got down to 62 F this morning and was  only 64 F when I left the house at 7:35 a.m. But by the time I got home It was already up to 84 F and I felt pretty hot. The body still feels sore and even some soreness in the legs that wasn't there yesterday. But still had a good run. No watch but kept the pace uptempo as the form and spring in the legs seemed flawless (which was nice). Because even though I'm sore and tired when the form is sharp, the run is quicker and more enjoyable. 

3.6 miles slow on the treadmill this afternoon while watching PTI. 

Early morning club run from my house with the Circle of Trust. I got in 3.75 before Logan and Dave showed. Then we ran the new St. James loop extended around the park to hit 16.5 for the morning. Really dragged today. Got to bed after midnight and didn't sleep very good at all- then up at 4 a.m (alarm was set for 4:30 but I couldn't sleep). Plus the overnight low was still 72 F and I just felt hot, tired and uncomfortable all morning. Need to take and ice bath just to cool the body off.  

Out into the fields and around Stone Cliff. Then down the river trails all the way to the freeway. Around Pilot and up the Brigham road hill- then back home. 6:54 avg for the run. Felt achy, tired and slow. But times were still as fast or faster than normal for an EZ run. Wanted to go explore down by the river and see what the fire did yesterday afternoon. Burned up all the dead growth along the river all the way up the hill and even burned across the foot bridge- hopefully they open it back up soon. 

6 miles around the inner DC loop for club. Steve, Dave and I cut it short leaving Aaron to run the second half a lone. Basically we all were acting like we were crippled 85 year olds. Can I say that it felt cool at 91 F?

DC loop. It started out with a low of 71 F and then add in a lot of wind. Just a slug match between me the course and the wind this morning. I'm not sure of the overall results but I know for sure I didn't win. Excited to be done for the day and hopefully can rest/ recharge before tomorrow mornings longish run. I'm running on "E". 

10 miles along the bank of Lake Michigan here in Milwaukee. Mik'L and I got a wild hair and decided to skip town on a random trip. Looked through some cheap flights and booked the trip in an hour or so. Then caught a red eye out of vegas last night. Flew to Detroit then over to Milwaukee. We got here at 9 a.m and were able to check in to the room. I went out for the run 6:39 avg and then we drove to Chicago to see the sights and visit an old  friend. Fun but extreamly long day. Time to sleep.
