Rollin' THUNDER

6 slow, easy recovery miles at 8:30 at night.

My quads are still pretty sore, so I took this way slow and easy. I could feel every little tiny downhill portion on this run, even if it was for 2 feet, I felt it.

9 miles on the treadmill. It is super windy today, it has been constantly blowing at about 25-35 mph with gust up to 50 mph, so I was not going to run outside. I rode my bike to the gym and started my 9 miles. I hate running on treadmills, and apparently rice and beans is not a good lunch 3 hours before running. I was only able to go 3 miles, then had to stop and go to let some lunch out. Then I did 3 more, and had to let some lunch out. Then I did 3 more and rode home, uphill, straight into the wind, it was a hard bike ride.

This run was nice and slow, I am still really sore from Saturday, so I went slow to not hurt myself.

The weather was bad again, and I wasn't feeling up to running down hills with my sore quads so I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill.

I did 13 miles on the treadmill in a cotton shirt, and got my first bloody nipples, a runners trophy. I have a new blister forming under neath where the last one was, which sucks.

This was an ok run, I averaged about 7:45's. The treadmill had a 30 minute max with a 5 minute cool down period. So I ran 4, then had to start over, then did 4, and started over, then did 4 and started over, then did 1 to give me 13. This was probably the furthest I have ever gone on a treadmill, and it was probably one of the most enjoyable treadmill runs I have done.

9 miles at 3:20 pm. I went outside today, I have to quit being a baby about the weather. It was windy and slightly rainy, but not too bad. During this run I was supposed to do 3 miles at marathon pace. I am not sure what my marathon pace is, so I just tried to push it. I may have pushed it a little too much, my quads are really sore, and my left knee is sore. If I am able to recover from this run by tomorrow, I would call it a good run. If not, I went too hard too soon after the Ogden half.

14 miles at 6:45 am. Crystal needed to do 8 for her run, so we did 7 miles together. We went out 4, then I came back 3 with her, and she finished while I turned around and went to the 4 mile mark then came home to give me 14. This was a nice long run. First run over 2 hours in a while (probably since October), but I wasn't going for speed, just time on the road. 

The first 7 miles were the best looking 7 miles I have ever seen, dang she is good looking.

I ran in my gray shoes instead of the green ones because the gray have about 40 less than the green pair and about 30 less than the white pair, I want to try and catch them up to the others.
