Regular DC loop. Went out and planned on cutting it short a long the lines somewhere. But never did. The legs (quads) are really sore from the thrashing I gave them Saturday. Their just not use to that kind of pounding and they weren't fully recovered from the Grand Canyon run a couple week earlier. So today was painful but some how I just kept grinding around the loop and when I woke up I was all the way around and done. 7:19 avg but it didn't even feel that fast. Looking forward to a full recovery and then using this relay as a good jump start on some much needed speed work to prepare for the half marathon in January.

DC loop then extended around Little Valley at the end. Legs still felt pretty sore this morning and it had worked it's way into the calves but the run was much more comfortable than yesterday. Forgot to start the gps so total time for the run was 1:25:15

Logan came over early and we headed out for my standard loop. It was 22 F out but I dressed for it with double tights and bigger gloves so I never really was cold. We made our way around the loop and then I made Logan extend around Little Valley before we came back to the house and hit 11.6 miles. He had to get to school but I did one lap around the school/park loop to finish off a couple more miles and hit a even 14 miles for the day at 7:23 avg. Slow I know but tis the season.

Started out this morning not in the mood to run at all. Almost bagged it because I was trashed, everything ached and it seemed chilly out at 22 f. But I just went through the motions and headed out around Stone Cliff then into B-hills and finished around the park to hit 10 slow miles. I had to get home and go help Mik'L do some property inspections so we did that for a couple hours then came home. Then I took Myler out in the jogger and slugged out 4.3 more around my Little Valley loop. Nothing fun or pretty this morning... just got in some miles.

An awful run today. Got an upset stomach last night which really got things flowing if you know what I mean. Then got up this morning and felt so so. Had some oatmeal and cleaned the house for a while... then after some time decided I could try a run. It was just grueling. From the start I was laboring way more than I should have but kept grinding it out over to the DC and down into Bloomington- then around that loop and back up by the freeway. Through 12 miles it sucked but I was able to just keep grinding. From mile 12-13 I started to die and it was a rough mile. No stomach issues rather just zero energy. From mile13-14 I did better and regrouped. But then at mile 14 I lost it and just wanted food and to be done asap. Had to walk/ run back home. It was a horrible day at the office for me. Hope to refuel really good and see if that was the issue. Ate about 3000 calories when I got home then soaked in a hot bath. Now I need a big nap.

Didn't run until this evening. Went out up by the new airport and around through the fields. Felt kind of blah for the first half and almost cut it short at mile 2. But kept slugging along. Then about mile 6 I started to feel great. Hit a porta potty and rolled back home. By the end of the run I felt fantastic. Good way to end the week. We had a yard sale this morning and basically sold a bunch of junk we didn't use anymore... walked away from it with $900! Crazy. Yesterday I was wondering if we would make enough to pay for our newspaper ad of $22 bucks.
