Craig Hudman - Simply Live

Slept in until 8 or so. Not really anything to do. My wife left SLC last night and I stayed down to catch a flight today so just hanging out with by sister and brother in law. Decided to take a run around South Jordan to test how I feel post race. Pretty soft miles today. Through the first 7 I was a solid 8 min pace then hit a couple sub 7 and slowed down for the last mile or so. Legs felt pretty good once they loosened up. I guess I didn't push overly hard yesterday based on how I feel today which is good. Now pretty much nothing to do but chill and catch a plane back east.

AM 7.6 last night flew from SLC to Chicago and then to South Bend. Got in around 11:30. Ordered some pizza and went to sleep. Woke up around 7:30 and ran along the St Joseph River along the UI at South Bend campus. Light rain the whole time but very enjoyable. I was a little tighter that yesterday but felt good after 5. Get there was a different story. Stopped after 1 to stretch which I never do. I try to get in a run at the hotel tonight.

Meetings until 11PM so no chance for a night run.

Back pretty late to the hotel. Trip got extended 2 days today, should've been home tonight but I guess that's the difference in the new employment. Looked at trailers all day long and doing the same thing tomorrow before most likely pulling an all nighter and figuring out new stocking and employment plans for the company. I was lucky enough to sweet talk the ladies at the desk into opening up the fitness center that had closed 20 minutes before I arrived to open it up for me so I could run. No way was I going to go for a night time run, pretty sure I'd get lost. Took it easy but legs are still soft from Saturday. 

AM - Pitch black when I got up so it was back to the gym. I really wasn't in the mood for it this morning but had no real alternative. First 9 miles in an hour then I decided to do a MP progression for another 5K ended in just over 19 minutes. It was the first time I've been comfortable at any decent type of pace the week. I'll try to squeeze in a night run between meetings but that's pretty iffy.

Back at the hotel after 11PM tonight. I bet I walked at least 5 miles today looking at trailers. My body is just shot. Straight to bed and to leave for the airport by 4:30AM
