Slow and sore from the half. My quads hated every downhill today. I've been worse, though. 7:33 average.

My quads still don't like downhill running, but it's getting better. One more easy day. Workout tomorrow. I listened to This American Life and Hardcore History on my run this morning. I'm loving podcasts on easy runs!

Fartlek workout today. Nothing too hard. There's still race left in my legs. Quads are better, but hips are sore. I warmed up a little over two miles and ran 10 x 2 minutes on/off. Out and back on the river trail. 6:56 average

Beautiful sunrise run. What a great start to the day. Today I learned about the vaudeville and circus act, The Sutherland Sisters, who were known for their extremely long hair. They made a fortune developing a line of hair products, which yhey squandered through decadent living, and died destitute. (Stuff You Missed in History Class) 7:33 average.

Tempo run. I felt so nauseated this morning. I hope I'm not getting sick. I think I just wasn't fueled properly, because I am really hungry now.

Warm up two miles, six mile tempo, ten minute cooldown. 6:06 average.

My first full week of running in a looooong time. Hopefully, I'm on the upswing.

Just enough to hit sixty miles this week. I felt trashed today. I think the half is still making its presence known. But, I'm happy to run every day this week. Now to take the mileage up and stay consistent. It was a beautiful, cool morning. I ran 4800 S to Vine, out to Wheeler Farm, around Wheeler Farm, back to the River Trail, along the trail to Bullion, up 1300, and back on 5300 S.
