Clyde's Comeback!

I didn't get out this morning so had to wait until this evening. We went out as a family. I ran and Mik'L rode the bike pulling the trailer with Myler inside drinking his bottle. We did the same fields loop as we did a week or so ago. I felt really crappy most of the run. After not running since Saturday morning I was just stiff and had a bad case of the Mondays. I kind of finally loosened up and we made it home just after it got dark. I know, I know... how special!

There are so many different loops and variations of loops from this house I never tier of trying them all... the down side is I almost always have to wear the garmin because I don't remember what the distances are. In my old house I could run my loops all the time without needing it. But there I only had a handful of runs. Anyways today I tried a new variation- down River Road to the trail and then down to the DC around Flying J and through the Knolls back home. It felt good and things flowed a lot better than Monday. It was a nice 60F when I went out. Thats just PERFECT for me and running. It's amazing how much better running feels when the temps are just a little cooler. 

Did the Flying J loop and extended over to the DC then up to River Road. I felt o.k on the run- no major issues. But my form feels so off. Kind of mechanical or robotic with no flow at all. I'd really like to feel the flow again. 

7:11 avg for  the run.  

Early morning workout with Paul and Logan. The plan was to run over to the river trail for a 3.4 mile warm up then do 4x1mile repeats and then jog back home. So we got over there and decided all we needed to do was hit the miles in 6 min pace. So we got going and hit the first one in 5:34... so a little faster than planned. Then on the way back we said to slow it up and we hit a 5:38- the pace felt very comfortable. After reaching the top Paul said he was feeling sick and had been on the first two. There was no need to push things for him so we all just jogged down and back and then home. Logan and I were happy for Paul's sickness:) It made it so we didn't have to do anymore speed.... but we really wish Paul the best and hope he gets feeling better. Good workout even though we didn't do all 4 miles. It was nice to run those two miles and feel very comfortable. 

May go to club tonight. 

Logan called late last night and said do you want to run tomorrow.... it was actually a text but you get my drift. So we went out again. I was planing on having a lie in this morning but no up and gone by 5:20 a.m. Which isn't bad but I wanted that lie in. Anyways we just relaxed and chatted the entire run. We avg 7:14 for the 12.8 mile loop down river road/ up the river trail and around through the fields. It was nice and cool but Logan still was sweating like a horse. 

This is an almost pathetic entry... Steve and I met up at my house at 5 a.m. I hadn't really wanted to even go so I pitched to him that we not go... he took the bait and there in the dark on my driveway we bailed on a run after already getting up early and getting ready. Very pathetic but I just didn't feel it at all today.
