Clyde's Comeback!

9.2 miles this morning. Just an easy run to get the week going. I'm a little sore from Saturdays workout. Nothing too bad but sore enough that I didn't want to do a tempo or hill workout this morning. No real mileage goals for the week. Just to run what seems comfortable and to stay healthy. I think everyone at my house is on the verg of catching a cold...so we'll try and fight that off too.

8.2 miles tonight. It's funny how 94 degrees seems pretty nice out. That's what it was this evening when I went out and it didn't feel too bad. I ran the industrial park loop. I'm fighting off a cold so just not feeling that great.

9.2 mile run this morning. Same run as Moday morning. I had three tempo runs planned this week, but if I don't start feeling better I may just end up doing one on Saturday. Head cold with all the add ons.

5.1 mile run this eveing. Just a short little run too keep things loose. Up to the powerline and back.

15.8 mile run this morning. Up by 4 a.m and out of the house by 4:30... This was a easy/tempo run. Goal was to get 6 miles of MP tempo in. I left the house and ran down past Costco and around new road by Formaster. Then back past Summit and out through the fields into Washington and then back home. My wife made her famous "Little Pizzas" last night and they did a number on my tummy this morning. I had to hit two stops along the way.

I did about a 4 mile warm-up and then 4 straight miles of MP tempo from Formaster around hill and down past Summit and just into the fields. Then it was time for a potty stop. After the stop I ran up out of the fields and through Washington and hit the last two miles of MP back up around my house. Then did a short cool down.

Pretty good run other than the potty problems...Now to start what could end up being a very long day.

3.2 mile on the treadmill this evening. Just a few to keep the blood flowing.

10.6 mile run early this morning. I went a little of everywhere this morning. Up into GS and down into Washington...then back up past Best Buy and around to the house. Time was a little short so I pushed it a little more than I wanted to for an easy run.

For some reason this morning all I could think about was Alf...Remember the T.V. show from the 80's. I used to love that show when I was a kid.

Let's see if anyone can top that for the most random/forgoten 80's T.V. show.

3.4 more miles on the treadmill tonight.

8 mile morning run up around GS and back home. I was feeling pretty slow and tierd this morning so I just kept it that way and slugged around my loop.

8 more miles up to powerline and then GS. Feeling pretty trashed. I hope through the night that I refreash the system and be ready to do a long run in the morning.

20 mile morning club run. We did the same run as last week...Not ideal, but this worked better for everyone. To start with when I got to the running store to meet the guys I realized that I had left my Garmin home so...

I didn't know for sure where I was the whole run. From what I can gather today should have been just about as fast as last week or at least within two min's. We started out a lot faster for the first 6-7 miles than last week. Steve and Dustin were running with me at that point and from what they said our splits were faster. Then I started to ease into marathon pace just like last week between miles 8-10. For the final 10 miles I know I wasn't as fast as last week (5:20) pace but felt like I was much faster than 5:40 pace. I pushed against a headwind most of the run and by then end it started to become very frustrating.

Today would have been a bad day to have the STGM. PR's would have been hard to come by with the wind. So everyone pray it's not windy in three weeks. I was totally ready to be done at the end and unlike last week and couldn't have kept the pace much longer.

Glad that I got a good workout in but it hurt today, and I'm ready for a day off.
