Good to be back home, but it was kind of a rough one today. The weather was in the low 40's but pretty windy. I don't know if it was just the wind beating on me or something else, but I just wasn't feeling it.

As I was running down Linder Rd., a pickup drove past me and a matteress flew out. So I stopped to help the guy put it back on the truck. Dude needs to invest in some rope.

I'm going to start doing speedwork again tomorrow.

Now that I'm back from the great white north, I did some speedwork today. I alternated fast quarters with slow ones for three miles than ran another two miles at a comfortable pace. It's been three weeks. but still it felt better than before, so maybe I wasn't starting from square one after all.

Kind of cold and rainy this morning. One of those days where when it's raining you are too cold, but when it stops and the wind is at your back, it is too hot. But not a bad run anyway. About two miles into it, I was feeling pretty weak. I realized that I had only eaten a bowl of Corn Chex at 9am. But I pushed through it and felt better after another mile or so, but still kind of dragging most of the run.

I got stopped by a couple of guys in a meat truck asking for directions to some street I'd never heard of. Usually I don't mind stopping to help people out, but I have a prejudice against those door-to-door meat salesmen. They spread meat all over your living room floor before you can tell them that even if it is a good price, I shouldn't be eating all of that meat.

Same workout as Tuesday. Three miles of alternating fast and slow quarters followed by two comfortable miles. It really sucks. That must mean it's good for me.

Tried to pick up the pace a bit today. So I got really tired at the end. Weather was great though. Sunny, high 40s. I need to be careful the rest of the day. Now I feel like I could eat everything in sight.

This was my highest mileage week of the year so far (barely). I need to start cranking it up a bit. Robie next month, Potato half in May and Rock N Roll Seattle in June.
