Still seem to be having an energy problem and with my legs feeling wack. My enthusiasum is all but gone and I am having a hard time putting forth much of an effort. I am trying to stay focused for next month's half marathon. I know that I have increased my mile's per week which may have something to do with the energy factor. Maybe I will just have to give my body time to get used to the 8 miler's each day. My total time today was 1:18:31, with an average pace of 9:43.

Kind of a bummer day. I went to start my run and I tried to turn on my Garmin and it would not fire up. So I put it back in it's craddle to see if it was charged and it does not even say it is charging. I have only had it for about three month's and have really enjoyed getting info for each mile. I will have to call the manufacture tomorrow and hopefully they will help me get it fixed. So my info today will not have mile splits, just total time. It was a very windy cold run today. I had a head winfd all the way back, sometimes it would blow so hard that it hardly felt as If I were moving, it was a very energy draining run today. My total time was 1:22:05 pretty slow but that's what my body could handle today. I also did 200 crunches and upper body strength training. See ya tomorrow.

IToday was a recovery day, ever sense my 10K race at the end of March my legs have not been the same. They are not recovering very well from day to day, and I know that I'm not pushing that hard. I have increased my mileage and that could have something to do with my legs not recovering, hopefully they will get used to the mileage. My total time today was 1:12:07 with an average pace of 9:58.

Hopefully the bad weather for tomorrow will be gone before my run. Spring in Utah is so awesome.

For my long run today I just took it easy. I could of pushed harder but I did'nt with only a 12 Hr. turn around from last night's run. My second half was a little faster than the first half of my run today. I did'nt feel to bad, I was suprised that I had the legs for Harry's Hill today which was my slowest pace for the run. Right now I don't feel like I have any injuries, knock on wood. With only a few weeks until my half marathon I want to stay free from that. My total time today was 2:11:18, with an average pace of 10:19.
