Clyde's Comeback!

6.5 morning run

8.5 p.m. run

Did speed on the track with Steve tonight. 2 mile warm up. then 6x800 with an 800 recovery between each one, and one mile cool down.

Didn't go out to set any records. I was just trying to get a good speedwork out in and then taper off before Hobble Creek. Goal was to run all of them under 2:40

1. 2.39 1.24/1.15

2. 2.38 1.22/1.16

3. 2.36 1.18/1.18

4. 2.38 1.21/1.17

5. 2.31 1.13/1.18

6. 2.39 1.20/1.19

Only pushed it on the 5th one. I wanted to run the last two around 2.35 but went too fast on the 5th and then didn't care on the 6th.

Only did a run tonight. My legs feel like heavy hamburger. That speed workout on monday must have did a number on me...

blah!

Today I quit my job at the hospital. Things just were not going right with my expectations of a career there. After about 2 weeks of stress I just had to get out of there. Now... I have no job and do have bills to pay. But Mik'L is doing pretty good with our business and hopefully she can pick up the slack until I find something. It was a hard call to make to leave a career with intermountain health care, but I feel soo much better now that I've left, and I know I'll find something.

5 miles in the a.m.

7 miles in the p.m.

Legs feel better today that on Tuesday, but they still are very sluggish. Need to get some good rest and food in me the next couple of days.

Ran with the club tonight. Nice and easy.

Easy morning run.

Hobble Creek Half. 4th place overall, 1st in age- 1:12.27 I think.

Went out a little slower and had a hard time getting into a rythem.

By mile marker 7 started feeling good and began hunting down people in front of me. Made sure I wasn't chicked this time. By 10.5 I felt like there was a storm building in my stomach...there was! Hopefully it would hold off until the finish. It did and then I spent some quality time in the port-a.

Overall I was really happy with the race.

Will run some tonight.
