Clyde's Comeback!

DC loop. No watch but legs were not there. Totally slow and half a sleep. Ran into Stephen and chatted. Had a hard time going after that. Just trashed in general. #needsomerest

5.5 miles on the treadmill this afternoon.

Tempo Tuesday. 4.4 mile warm up to Stucki. It was super muggy again and around 72F. Just didn't have much today. Actually I haven't all summer. Really struggling to hit any positive workouts. Once we hit Riverside Dr there was bad headwind. Then I thought I'd finally get rolling once on the trail but it was muddy and had started raining so it was super slick. Anyways I did put in the whole 8 mile tempo but only hit a 5:45 avg during it. Logan looked good though and is running strong!

The cool down was all in a nice rain storm. Felt great. Been raining all moring too. Much needed and wanted water.

4.4 around LV tonight. Didn't really want to but couldn't pass up the cool afternoon after the rain storm. Just kept it EZ.

DC loop. Felt crazy humid this moring. Even though temps were low at 67F. I sweat my butt off this morning and looked more like Logan. :) Wore the garmin to see where my pace is on normal EZ type runs. Hit a 6:53 avg for the run. Felt really slow for the first 3 miles. Didn't ever feel smooth. Really need to find a way to dial it in better in the coming weeks. Force some kind of peak...

4.4 around LV tonight. I had rained about 20 min's prior. But I was late getting out. So I got the sunny/humind version. The run was short so it wasn't a biggy.

Tempo with Steven. Ran about 4 miles over to the DC and then a little more with the club to warm up hitting 5.16 total warm up miles.

Did the mayors loop tempo and told myself I'd go at least 6 miles of tempo...maybe 7. Mission accomplished! Went 7.1 miles @5:40 avg. A little faster than the other morning with the Circle and I felt much much more in control. Went out way fast with a 5:19 first mile but then settled down and ran pretty even the rest of the way.

3.14 mile cool down back home after.

Weight this week, M- 146.5, Tues- 144, W-143.5, Th- 143.0

My weigt is down... my miles have been solid all summer. So now I just have to find a way to run tempo/race pace. Marathon pace is the goal... and I don't think I'll pull off any good half's in the coming weeks. It seems half marathon pace is killing me. But if I can settle down maybe I can run MP.

Crazy, crazy, crazy dreams last night. Lots on my mind. Having a hard time processing what's happening.

Cooler morning but still feels more humid than reg... isn't the old saying "it's hot... but it's a dry heat?" idk but it's been pretty muggy this summer. Run was a sleepy mix of everything. Over to the freeway then up by Southgate golf course and around the dealerships. The back to the DC and home via the park. Felt pretty slow. 7:13 avg proved it to be true.

3 miles on the treadmill.

Big Mean Nasty Juan.

Goal was to do the Utah county guys workout. 3 mile warm up. 3 miles at 5:30 pace. 8 miles at 6:00 pace, 3 miles at 5:30 pace. Then cool down. That was the goal...

It's been cool all week. Muggy but cooler. Today ways 76F on the way over just before 4a.m and 73F when we were finished. &MuggyAsHell

We met at the DC and warmed up the river trail to River Road and one more mile for three total.

First 3 mile tempo set was @ 5:28 avg. Logan took it out fast... too fast. I hit 5:23, 5:23, and like 5:34. Once back at the DC I thought about just bagging the rest of the day.

Next was the 7.3 mile tempo @ a 6:01 avg down into Bloomington and around that loop and back. We talked and decided to just to this loop and be a little shorter than the planned 8 miles. No biggie here. Felt pretty strong through this section. Thought maybe we were going a little faster than the times showed... but itiswhatitis

Once we got back to the DC I had to stop for a potty break. Dave said he was just gonna keep rolling right into the last 3 mile section. So Logan, Steve and I stopped. Once we got running again the legs didn't want to go fast anymore. So we just did 7 min pace. Logan turned around after only a mile or so. Steve and I took it back up to 3.5 miles out. I had two more potty stops and finally decided I'd try some more tempo on the way back.

Felt so worn down and done that my main goal was to do like ONE more mile at around 5:50 pace... maybe make it to River Road for 1.5 miles.

However we got going and the legs seemed to turn over. And Steven made a solid push that I had to match and I hit the first mile in 5:11. Steve started to fall off around that point and I wanted at least one more. So I kept it going down past the Dr's Free Clinic and ended with a 5:22 avg for that 2 mile section to close it. Should have just done one more... but I was over joyed to have gone faster than 6:00 pace for more than a mile.

Cooled off 1.5 miles back to the DC and really felt wasted. Worked has hard this morning as I have in any workout in a long long time. Three workouts this week. Muggy temps. 100 mile week... Glad it's done.
