Slow run to start the week.  Didn't feel so great.  I don't know whether it was the fact that it was 90 F at 9 AM or if it was the half can of peaches I ate before the run, but my stomach was just not happy about life.  Mornings are never great for me anyway unless it's race day.  Oh well.  Got the miles in.

Warmed up for two miles then ran 3 hard miles at marathon effort.  Slowed down until the 7 mile mark, then ran 3 more fast miles.  Felt really good after I got warmed into the run.  Legs were complaining before I started from yesterday's drive, but I felt good once I got going.  Solid run today.  Posted some pictures from Friday's run on my blogspot.

Not a good day.  Didn't get out until late at night, and then my knee was really giving me fits.  Driving for long periods just kills me.  Probably shouldn't have pushed so hard yesterday either...

Ran about 5 feet today and my right knee and leg were just not having it.  Bagged it.  :(

Not a good run.  Was not in a good place mentally, and just couldn't motivate myself up Dry Canyon and South Syncline.  No energy at all.  Making matters worse I ran through a healthy patch of stinging nettle, and then ate it hard coming back down, banging my knees and left hand up pretty good and scratching my Garmin.  I was planning to do the whole Syncline Loop (~23 mi.) but it just wasn't happening.  Mentally I've been really weak the last few days.  I don't know what's going on.
