So I finally bit the bullet and got up early in the morning (early for me) to run. Decided to put in 15 today. I'll only be able to run M-F this week, so I'll need to get in a couple of longer ones.

The weather was great, except that it is still a little chilly at 7am. I went Cloverdale, Executive, Maple Grove, McMillian, Meridian, Ustick.

Pace: 8:11

Alternated slow and fast quarters for three and a half miles. Ran one more fast quarter than last week. It was kind of rough today, feeling kind of sluggish. Not sure why, maybe leftover from yesterday's longish run.

Weather was awesome. 63 degrees, sunny and no wind. Best weather of the year so far. I'm ready for more of this.

Feeling kind of sore today. My lower back was hurting last night and today my left butt cheek felt like it had a knot in it for most of the run. It didn't really work its way out until about mile 9.

FYI: Running with a sore left butt cheek isn't as fun as it sounds.

The weather was nice, 50 and overcast. I ran Cloverdale, McMillian, Meridian, Pine, Cloverdale.

Not a good run today. I was feeling kind of sore so I knew a speed workout wasn't going to happen, so I decided to just do an easy five miler to work out some of the kinks. After my first step I knew I was in trouble. The upper part of my left leg was hurting. I actually stopped and debated whether to even run at all. But I took off again and after about 100 yards the pain moved around and then decided to congregate right where it left off yesterday -- in my left butt cheek. So, I hobbled along taking it easy and after about two miles it wasn't as bad. By the time I finished up I could still feel it, but it was bearable. I don't know what caused it. I suspect it probably had to do with my 6-mile uphill run on the Robie course last Saturday.

I'll probably take it easy again tomorrow, maybe just a 7-miler and then take the weekend off. See if I can be 100% by next Saturday for Robie Creek.
