| After 2 and a half weeks of cross training, I tried running again today, and my soleus seemed to hold up, so hopefully I'll be back to it soon. I ran over to Vista Elementary, 3 times around the park, and then back home. | Add Comment |

My soleus was sore when I started, but warmed out in the first five minutes. I ran 4800 S to River Trail, and up by Millrace park. Total time 32:26. Not too bad for just cross training the last couple weeks, but I'm sure I've lost speed. I'm supposed to run a 5k in Boise next Saturday. I'll do my best, but I don't think I'll be that fast. | Comments(1) |

| I didn't really do a continuous. I just ran around the cross country course at the Murray Invitational cheering on the kids. My soleus didn't like the uneven surface. But, it's holding together. | Add Comment |

| I ran 1300 W to JRT to Millrace Park and home through Taylorsville High. Total time 40:14. I'm trying to work on my turnover a little bit, so I did one minute pushes every five minutes of the run for a total of eight. This is a very good time for this course, so maybe I didn't lose that much fitness. I think 5k pace will be another story, though. But, I need to be positive and not worry about what I cannot control. | Add Comment |

15 minute warm-up down to Millrace Park. 5 x 3 minutes hard/two minutes easy. Cooldown home. I felt pretty strong. I was going to do something measured on the track, but Taylorsville High was playing a football game, so I had to change my workout. The good thing is, my soleus didn't hurt at all. My hip was sore, but warmed out. Hopefully I can fake it through the race on Saturday.

5400S to Redwood, over to 2200 W. 2200W to 3800 S. 3800 S to 2700 W. 2700 W to 5400 S. 5400 S to home.
I tried to stay comfortable and very aerobic this morning. I'm feeling the effects of yesterday's workout a little. My legs feel good, but the soleus was a little sore, and out of the blue, my right hip is beginning to bother me. But, I think it's all just little naggy things. Total time 49:43. | Add Comment |

The day started out pouring rain. I think that may be the wettest conditions I have ever competed in besides a region cross country meet in Portland in college. I'm sure the weather affected the time a little, but I can't blame the entire race on the weather conditions. I don't think it slowed people down too much.
I'm just not in shape. Especially 5k race shape. I guess I can't expect to run fast when I haven't trained in a month. I've cross trained, and got back to running the last week and a half, but I haven't done the speedwork necessary to run a good 5k. Every time I tried to go with people, or kick, or speed up, the legs just weren't there. I just got in a pace, and couldn't break it, no matter how hard I tried.
I'm FRUSTRATED!!!! I know I'm so much better than how I have been running. There's days I wonder if I have it in me anymore. I'm such a has been now.
I'm having a pity party at the moment. I need to gain perspective and get back to serious training again.
3 mile warm up and two mile cool down made a very wet 8 miles today. | Comments(2) |
