7.8 mile run this morning around the basic GS loop. I've been very unmotivated lately and just focused today on  trying to enjoy running and possibly having a hamstring that didn't hurt. I'll give this a 7 out of 10 on both accounts. 

6.2 mile run this evening on the treadmill. For some reason the machine sounded kind of fun this evening. It ended up being a good choice. I settled into a nice smooth pace and the legs kind of felt the flow a little for  a while.

I made a bold move today with my running career. Steven A. L. Hooper and others down here have been using a fair amount of peer pressure on me to run the Squaw Peak 50 miler in June.... long story short. The Circle of Trust and Steven and Cam all signed up for it today. This can be a new chapter for me. Good or bad we will find out and yes I'm well aware of the risks.

9.2 mile GS loop extended. It was a little chillier this morning than it has been; I guess a sure sign of winter. But I guess it is December. I was slow and achy as I made my way around the loop today (a common theme lately). My legs just will not snap out of this post-marathon/ sluggish phase. I'm also lame with a hamstring issue that seems to be permanent. I guess I really don't know what to do... I'm too scared to take the appropriate time off to heal and get proper treatment for the hammy. But I'll give it a week and a half or two weeks and if there is no improvement I may just have to do a two or three week layoff to fix the problems.

4 miles on the treadmill and then a weight and ab workout. Hamstring was really sore last night and kept me from sleeping. I think what I'll try to do over the rest of the month is do some shorter mileage and more cross training stuff to burn the calories. Also some visits to April and a good chiroprator to try and get my body back to normal.

It just sucks that every run I do hurts and I could keep banging my head against the wall with the milage but I'm not sure at this point that it would profit anything. So hopefully in a couple weeks after some TLC I can start building the base again and working into the new year. I'm really frustrated about the whole deal!

5 miles this morning with Steven. It was actually pretty cold. Not cool but COLD. We ran slow and easy and my hammy actually didn't feel that bad. However I'm not falling for the old tricks. I'll continue to back off and get things taken care of. 

I went to the chiropractor today and he did a pretty good job cracking out the hips and lower back. I was way overdue for and adjustment. Well worth the $28. Now to get ready for April tomorrow- I'm sure I'll leave her visit in pain... in a good way.

5 miles this morning up around the GS church. I just kept it slow and easy. I'm trying to just get a small run in every day to keep it in the system. This afternoon I'll be seeing April to have here dig into the hamstring. 

I was reading Logan's blog from the other day and I think he hit the nail on the head. We are well over 4,000 miles for the year and that equals over training. I think I'll be just fine to finish out 2008 just like this with small runs everyday.

10 very easy miles with Logan this morning from the new store. Somehow we got confused and nobody called Dave. Sorry  Dave. We just took it slow and made our way out into the fields then when we hit 5 miles we turned around and brought it back the same way. I was surprised when Logan said we hit the run at an avg of 7:37. True it's slow but a lot faster than I felt we were going. 

My visit to April got pushed back until today so now I'm off for that...
