Clyde's Comeback!

6.5 early in the morning

6.5 late in the evening

Really starting to feel good. As all ways it takes me a couple weeks to get over a race. I am starting to feel strong and swift again. Tonight did some pick-ups during the run, around 2.5 miles at 800m pace through out the run. Felt good. It was around 9p.m. and the temp was nice and cool.

Got up this morning and went out on my old Big loop run. I haven't ran it much since May. I ran it in the reverse direction and added a little more. Pretty good run. I saw anouther turtle out on the trail. That makes three so far. This one didn't really care if I was around. Just watched me run by.

Ran 5 miles tonight after the Big Brother final episode. It sucked.

7 miles in the a.m.

5 miles in the p.m.

On my morning run I got carried away running back home. I was listening to the Rocky Soundtrack, and dreaming about winning the STGM in 07 or 08, and I hit a mile of pure downhill... With my emotions running high I hit 6th of 7 miles in around 4:45 split. It was fun to run that fast, and then when I got home I cationed myself on how dumb it was. Thats an injury waiting to happen.

Did an easy five tonight out on the golf course by my house. I'm starting to get my annual September allergies. I'm already sick of having a runny nose.

7 miles in the a.m.

9 miles in the p.m.

Had some bad food before the run tonight with the club. Bad day for me...

Short run late in the afternoon.

Still feeling a little sick.

The title of this run is "it sucked" or "the wind blew more than it sucked."

I googled it at around 17 miles it may have been a little farther. Running hills and into the wind all day made it feel like 22.

Steve and Bill did a good job keeping things fun. I could have stopped anytime after 10. I hate wind.

Let's just say if it's windy on marathon day I may stay in bed and I'll come watch you guys finish.
