Clyde's Comeback!

Down River Road to  the inner trail then down to the bottom and through B-hills back around the park and home. Same loop as last Saturday but in reverse. Legs felt pretty good and other than the normal "Monday" stuff I felt ready to go. Still want to keep this week and maybe next semi EZ and low in miles. I just need a "reset" before jumping back into some kind of training routine. Unless something else jumps up out of the blue I'll most likely plan on doing the STG half  in January as my next big race. I'd like to really be able to focus on some faster stuff between now and then and see if I can put together a solid semi fast half. 

DC loop but I took my car up to the top of the gas station hill and parked it to try and sell it ( I'm in the market for a truck to pull our boat with or maybe a H3 Hummer). Then ran around the rest of the loop. Legs felt really good this morning and I could have tempoed it I think. Glad I didn't have to but I think things are progressing rather nicely since the marathon. When I got down by the DC they had a fence blocking the bridge so I had to climb it and I think the construction workers were yelling at me but I played like I couldn't hear them and just took off down the trail. What are ya gonna do? 

River Road/ B-hills loop. Kind of dragging along today. Not really motivated and surprised that I went for the full loop. Almost bailed off short and maybe should have. 

Middle B-hills loop. Just had no desire to go any longer this morning. I'm not sore anymore from the marathon but I just feel spent... all the time. Plus I'm just achy. Not soreness but like the old bones hurt. Also I've been eating way more than normal and don't even dare get on the scale... actually I won't for a week sore so to let things kind of simmer down a little. 

Middle B-hills loop then extended around Jedora at the end. For some reason I (and I feel trashed) wanted/ needed to go running. It was just a perfect 80 F at 5 p.m with no wind and the road was calling... Didn't push the pace but ran uptempo in some Type A's that always feel a little racey. I'm battling off some of the sickness that's been with me for a couple weeks. Sore throat, achy body, sinus crap... anyways none of the symptoms are full blown but all of them are dragging me down. Through it all the run was good and I'm glad I got it in. 

I drove over to Logan's this morning to catch a little run. We went to the HS football game last night and decided to do a run. It worked out for me because Myler is with Grammy up in Torrey so I kind of had a free morning. 

We ran from Logan's house up to Snow Canyon parkway and over by the old running store which put us out 6 miles then turned and came back. The course is pretty and it was a beautiful morning but there are lots of rollers both ways. Pace was most likely pretty slow but we didn't care. We even ran into Mike out getting a run in and starting his Boston prep. Good to see him out. Good run just a little harder on the old body than a 12 miler should be:)

B-hills extended to River Road. Nothing special this morning. We were going up to Torrey but shot that down yesterday. So Myler is up there and we are home without child for  a few days. Just kind of got up and did a lazy run. Still very achy. I'm going to have Mik'L give me a good deep roll out on the hammies, quads and calves tonight and see if that helps my body move on.
