Clyde's Comeback!

I fully intended on running today. The legs felt good I had the time but... it rained like crazy all day long in Cordova. So we spent our last day up here just relaxing and getting ready to fly out at 7 p.m.  For what would be a crazy long, painful trip home. 

Woke up Monday morning at 9 a.m. Flew out of Cordova at 10 p.m (scheduled for 8 p.m) Monday night. Got to Anchorage at 11 p.m. Flew out of Anchorage at 12:40 a.m Tuesday. Landed in Seattle at around 6 a.m. Then flew from Seattle to Vegas and landed there at 9 a.m Vegas time. Drove the two hours back to STG and was home around noonihs Tuesday. Then a few hours later we drove up I-15 for 1.5 hours up and 1.5 hours back to meet my Uncle and Aunt who were watching Myler. Got home around 10 p.m. and finally got to go to sleep. In all that travel time I really didn't sleep at all on the plane (I never can) then got an hour or so nap at the house here in STG before going up to get Myler. But all in all I was over come with the whole thing and totally trashed. Way too long of trip to try and pull off in the middle of the night. I'll never take a redeye again...

Long story short I couldn't run today:)

Finally after an eternal trip Monday night thru Tuesday evening I was able to sleep. I sweat a lot last night getting use to the warmer dry air but I did get some good solid rest. A start to what I need- hoping for more to come in nap later. 

Got up and ran the middle B-hills loop. Legs felt pretty solid. This was the first run since the marathon last Saturday and as I suspected I'm just not that sore... never was. Totally different from the marathon in June at UV where I was sore for 5 weeks after. Just took it EZ with no watch this morning. Didn't get out until after 8:30 so the sun was high in the sky. I dropped 8 lbs from last night to this morning after then run.

6.6 miles tonight around the B-hills loop again. It started raining right when I left so pretty good timing. It only lasted for about 1.5 miles but still soaked the front of me. I liked it. EZ going tonight running on a full stomach of freshly cooked salmon straight from Alaska. It's better than anything I've ever had before (salmon standards)

B-hills loop again this morning. Went early before the sun came up. Temps were ok. Not super great but not horribly hot. 75 F. Kind of felt tight most of the run- wore out too. Got too much to do with life and stuff trying to catch up after being gone. 

Hope to make it to club tonight. 

woke up and was only 150 lbs before thinking about a run. just felt horribly trashed and dehydrated. running wouldn't have been a wise choice so I packed it in for the day and decided I was still on somewhat of a recovery week. 

Good run with Dave this morning. We looped around the park and then out into Bloomington around it's loop and up to River Road and home. Kept the pace honest almost the entire run. 6:49 avg. Legs feel really good for only being one week after a marathon.
