Very slow miles today after yesterdays push. I did not get very much sleep last night about 5 hrs/ and about the same the night before. So today I did feel very sluggish. It was a pretty nice day for a run, the temp. was up a little and the air quality was a little better. Today most of my running was uphill anywhere from a 5%-8% percent grade, so some good uphill training which accounts for the slower time. My overall time today was 1:11:25, total caloties burnt was 1211. I also did 25 min. of some light lower body weight training.

It was a nice afternoon for a run, the gunky air we have had for the past 20 days was finally gone and it  actually felt like I was breathing in clean air. To bad my legs felt like cement blocks today, but that is to be expected after yesterdays lower body weight training. My energy level today was just about zero. I have not sleept very well at all this week, today it felt like I was really grinding it out. My total time today was 1:11:33, and I burned 1181 calories.

Most of the run was even to alot of down hill training, with the last mile being a 6% uphill battle. Hopefully tommorrow I will have more energy and have my legs back.

Today I did feel like I had better energy for my run. My splits for today are a little faster than yesterdays. My legs are feeling kinda of hammered from the extra miles, but that is to be expected. My total time for today was 1:09:17, My fastest splits were miles 4 and 5, so ai counted them as my fast miles for today. I burned 1152 calories, and I will not run on friday. I will give my body a recovery day, and look forward to hittin the road on saturday.

Most of my run today was an uphill workout. The last mile I felt pretty good. One of these days I will have to give my speed work more attention.
