Clyde's Comeback!

Good Monday run with Harmer. Around Stone Cliff and back through B-hills. 7:15 avg. I pushed Myler for the first mile then we ran into Mik'L who was finishing her run and I sent him with her. Temps and conditions were great. Good to get Paul back out on the pavement hope to keep it a weekly thing. 

No evening run. Took the boat out to Quail Lake most of the day. When we finally got home I was done and had no desire to run. The wind blew most of the day and it just seems to sap the energy out of you. 

Middle B-hills run this morning. Started out feeling like a million bucks. Just cruising a long feeling light as a feather. But about half way through the run reality set in and it ended up being just a regular old Tuesday morning run. I'll try and get a workout in tonight. 

5.5 miles tonight pushing Myler around the inner B-hills loop. We had crazy day and my planned workout tonight got pushed out of the mix until tomorrow morning. So Myler and I enjoyed a smooth, relaxing jog together. He got his cast off today but still wont walk on it. Poor little guy is getting some big teeth in the back too and it's bringing on a pretty heavy fever. 

Biggish workout: Did the same 10 mile DC loop as last weeks workout with a 1 mile, and 2 mile tempo in the middle. My stomach was unsettled this morning (has been all week) so I didn't know what would happen once the tempo started. But after a 2.5 mile warm up I started the first mile in the same place I did it from last week. 4:54- it felt choppy but I was surprised with the time.  Jogged from the finish of this mile over to the River Bridge by the DC and started the 2 mile set from there to River Road. 2 mile in 10:19 (4:58, 5:21). This set felt a little more smooth and not as choppy as the first mile set. But I still slowed more than I wanted on the second mile with the little hills. Overall I'm pretty pleased. Big improvement from last weeks sets of 4:58, 10:33. However today I did it in the cool morning and last week it was in the afternoon at around 90 F and last week I'd already ran 10 miles that morning... 

No run tonight. It is our 10 year anniversary today. Mik'L had meetings until after 8 and so when she got home we just wanted food. Ordered some pizza from the factory and ate way too much. 

Taylor came over this morning and we did a EZ little run. Went out by Silkwood and looped some dirt roads then came back. 7:20 avg. Just chillin like a villain.

10 miles with the running club tonight. Regular loop. Just a chatty 7:03 pace. Never picked it up- rather just ran 7 min avg the entire run.

Middle B-hills loop. I really didn't want to run this morning. I've been on a running high for about 10 days but today I really just felt blah. Didn't sleep at all last night... maybe 2 good hours. Looking forward to not running the rest of the day and just kicking it with Myler and Mik'L.  

Met Dave, Logan and Taylor at the DC this morning. Ran an out and back up to River Road then back down the other trail into Bloomington. I felt like junk today. Last week I felt out of this world and today I would have been lucky to break 3 hours had it been race day. Good thing it wasn't. Just kind of sore all over and achy. Had a hard time getting into any sort of flow. Anyways my garmin was acting up on the way out but our pace on the way back in was a 6:34 avg and Logan kept pushing the pace or I would have ran with the 7 min guy.
