Clyde's Comeback!

Pushed Myler and the dogs on a short little run here in Little Valley. Legs were sore but runnable. Actually it felt just as good to run as it did to walk. Still I'm not in a rush to hit mileage and am going to give myself a real recovery week with no stress to run anything more than a short little jog.  

Did a family bike ride over into Bloomington Hills and around. I pulled the trailer with Myler and the dogs while Mik'L road her big girl bike along side. Riding the bike was a nice way to work the legs out without the impact of running. I kept changing the gears as to have to keep peddling the entire ride and pushing the legs. Felt ready to be done by the time we got home. 

Didn't get out to Hurricane today but did the inner B-hills loop at 5 p.m and it was HOT. I ran pretty good all things considering. I didn't have a watch but I think the pace was under 7 min. Actually too fast but I kind of got in a groove and wanted to get out of the heat. Legs feel pretty good 3 days after a marathon. 

River loop this morning with Paul H. He agreed to take it easy on me and we just had a nice mellow run around the loop. I had some tummy issues and had to hit the bathroom in B-hill and was glad it was there to hit. I spent most of the run trying to convince Paul that he's a 2:40 marathoner and too get signed up for some races to keep his fitness. Good run and glad that's all for the day- recovery is coming a long but no need to rush it. 

Pushed Myler out and back to the bridge this morning. I just wanted a shorter run to kind of help the legs sharpen up. Then I'll go to club run tonight. Legs are feeling ok, but it's hard to tell pushing the baby jogger. Both hammy's were sore but not (injured) just sore. Got home and worked in the garden for a couple hours. The wind basically destroyed my tomato plants and did a number on everything else too. So I had to prune everything back past the damaged area. 

7.5 miles tonight at running club. We just hit the standard Bloomington loop nice and easy the whole way. Bill told us at the end that we ran a 7:10 avg and I was surprised to see that it was that fast. Had a major bathroom stop at the finish to get rid of all the junk today.  

River loop this morning. It was cool as the sun was coming up. 57 F is a great temp for the middle of June... even though it will be at or close to 100 today. I did  a little extra to try and help a guy with some little dogs at the park. There were some bigger loose dogs out and starting to chase the guy with his little dogs. So I ran over and drove the big dogs away. The right hammy is sore (not my injured one). I need a good overhaul from Mik'L using the stick and foam roller. 

Morning club run out around my old stomping grounds. We left Bill's old house and ran up out of GS to the water tank then down through industrial and around Middleton back to Bill's. On the way back we saw a house on fire (sad). Then the whole group stayed to help Bill move into his new house. With everyone there it was a pretty smooth process and I was home by 11 a.m.
