I tried to go running this morning, after about 3 steps I knew it wasnt going to happen. I1am way too sore to be able to run. I headed to the gym and did an 18 mile bike ride. I didnt work hard or get my HR up, I just focused on actually moving my legs.

My legs are still super sore. I went to the gym with the intentions of swimming. I decided to ride a bike for a little bit to loosen up. I did 6 miles on a bike, then I decided to run for little while. I ran 3 miles. Afterwards I was planning on swimming, but I had to head home so Crystal could head to the gym for her workout.

Maybe tomorrow I can get a 6 mile run in. That half marathon destroyed my legs!

6 slow miles. My quads are still really sore, but I pushed through. About .25 miles into the run I looked at my watch and realized that I had turned the gps off so I had to reset my watch, and start the run over. I dont know my splits for this run, just took it easy to let my legs rest.

My legs feel a lot better today. I think by tomorrow they will be close to 100%. I did an easy 8 miles today, at about my normal easy run pace. I didnt feel like I was pushing hard and my legs felt comfortable the whole time. 

For about .25 miles I had a dog running right behind me barking, it was really annoying and made me regret not taking my pepper spray with me. Just once I want to blast a dog right in the face and teach it a lesson. This was the first time I have had a dog chase me since living in rexburg. I liked the route I chose today, which was completely different than the normal route I do. Now I know that if I decide to go that way again, take my pepper spray to fulfill a dream.

10 miles at 5:00 am. Right when I started running I could feel that I didnt have much energy and that it wasnt going to be the best run ever. I was also out of clean underwear so I opted on the commando run because my running shorts have a built in liner. That is the last time I will do that. About 5 miles in I felt that I was getting some chaffing, and by the end of the run it hurt pretty bad.

20.5 miles at 4:00 am. I went to bed at 1:00, and woke up at 3:30, 2.5 hours of sleep wasnt as bad as it sounds. 

I ran from my parents house to my in-laws house. I have never run that route before and didnt know where any places were to get drinks, which turned out to ruin this run.

I took a gu at mile 6, followed by no water. At mile 12 I saw a 7-11 and took another gu and went in and asked for some water. They let me have a cup and let me drink to my hearts content. The problem is that I didnt have any water at mile 6, and my mouth was so dry by the time I got to 12. I was also in need of water because I had run 12 miles. So I drank too much water, which really hurt me around mile 16. I got a horrible side ache that just wouldn't go away, so for the first time in a really long time, I had to walk during a training run. I then had to just go super slow to be able to keep the pain from getting unbearable.
