Clyde's Comeback!

No run today. Took a unplanned trip up to Torrey... then on to Lake Powell to fish. Perfect day at the lake. Between two of us we caught 33 fish at Hite on Monday. By the time I got home I had nothing for a run. 

Went ice fishing at Blind Lake this morning. It was a lot of work to get there and and eventful morning once there. Caught a few fish. Finally this evening I ran the Teasdale loop. Every time I run up here it kicks my butt and today was no different. Tough loop- real tough!

Another Teasdale loop while I was in Torrey. The wind just rocked my world. I wanted to die for at least the first 3 or so miles until I turned behind the hill in Teasdale. Then again once I got to the river below Torrey. Just BRUTAL. 

Did the DC loop once I got home from the trip. Kind of felt sluggish and my tummy was really unsettled for at least the first half. But the last few miles felt pretty good. Today was kind of a make-up day for missing Monday.

Did a longish run tonight out in the dark and rain. I decided to run over to running club at the DC and then do that run then run back home. Logan was the only one who showed and we basically did the river corridor run but only the 5 mile one. We also ran up to the corner twice while waiting to see if anyone else showed.

7:11 avg for the run

Slow lap around the DC loop. Barley made it to the 8 mile mark before an hour (59:20). Everything was kind of hurting and sore. I've pushed it pretty hard after missing Monday. Hope to relax the rest of today so I can finish off the week tomorrow. 

3 mile warm up

7.75 mile tempo

4.7 mile cool down

Met at my house early (winter standards). Good group out this morning. We warmed up over to the usual spot in the fields and then started the tempo. It was very soggy, rainy, and humid this morning but not too cold. In fact Steve thought it was warm enough to run without a shirt... questionable in December before the sun comes up? Anyways the tempo went ok. Nothing stellar but respectable hitting 7.75 miles at a 5:49 avg. Plus my garmin went haywire with about 3 miles to go so I had no idea where I was and could have pushed those miles a little more. Logan killed the run and must have hit around a 5:25 avg. Glad to finish off a decent week and ready to be inside in this rainy weather.
