Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Easy miles with Jenny.   Work has killed me the past couple of weeks and there really isn't an end in sight.   Good problem to have - or so I tell myself :)    

Easy miles in the morning with Jenny.   My right hip was hurting and I had sharp, shooting pain down the leg at one point, so called it when she was done.    Rolled on the tennis ball and Yoga in the evening. 

After work trying to squeeze in as much mileage as I could before volleyball.   I ran down Arborlawn and then on to the trail(way to many bugs) back out to Hulen, Bellaire and then up the Arborlawn hill.   I had 2.5 miles just above MP and the legs were very tired and sore from yoga the night before.  Kicked my butt...good thing. 

Avg Pace: 8:19

8 miles on my own in the windy morning.  Nice to be alone with my thoughts but a little boring.   It ended up being a very nice progression run that I thought was faster in the end than what the watch showed.    It is what happens when you get out of shape.  

Avg Pace 8:45

PM:  5 more miles to get to 30 for the week.  We will be traveling to and from Houston tomorrow for volleyball, so running will not be happening.   I started out from my house and headed south on the new road for 2 miles of uphill and into 20-25 mph winds....good training but hard when it was 80 degrees outside.  I am not ready for the heat but ready to be done with the crazy wind!   Finished the 5 at my son's ballgame just in time for the National Anthem.

Avg Pace 8:30....was supposed to be easy and the pace reflects that but the effort was much harder.
