It was pouring rain and cold this morning so I stayed inside on the TM.  Today I just wanted to do an easy run after yesterday's melt down.  I started off real easy and the legs felt tired from yesterday but better then I expected.  I gradually picked up the pace and after a couple of miles I was back to normal pace.  I felt quite a bit better than yesterday so I am just writing off yesterday as  a bad day or fuel issue.  Hope the rest of the week continues to go well.

Hello there! Hey, no worries about the run yesterday. Just remember, you ran a long ways. Now is not the time to push real hard for a blow out either. Almost show time!

Robert, is that really you? Good to have you back and thanks for the comment. How is everything with you?

I'm in school, but looking for a job right now. School took me away from running and running has won. I just couldn't find a balance between them. Hard to explain, but I can balance a job and running, but not school and running. Anyway, time to move forward and drop the past (hard thing for me to do).

I guess sometimes when you are not sure which direction to take it is difficult. It seems that things improve when you decide on a direction. I hope that you are able to find what you are looking for and get back to that balance. Just keep moving forward I'm sure you will do great!
