8 easy miles with Wendy.  The first 4 were miserable and then it started feeling better.  Incredibly hot and humid and mostly a sufferfest.   Working on an attitude adjustment.....

10 hilly miles on Bryant Irvin, Altamesa & Dutch Branch.  Hot, humid and harder than it should be.

5 easy miles with a lot of stretching afterwards.   We had planned on 8 with some sprints, but tired legs won out.

Oh, another rough day.   I have really struggled the past few weeks, tired week legs and have yet to have a run that feels like I have progressed.  Each has been a slug fest that just never ends.   We had planned on 20 today and I had a bad attitude from the moment I rolled out of bed  - tired after a very long, hard week at work and a few crazy issues at home.   I was not in the mood to run, but headed out.  I met Mo at the woodshed and we ran 3 to meet Wendy.  We had planned on the south half of the Cowtown course, which I normally love, but not today.  Not is 75 degrees + 70%+ humidity...It is draining.   My legs wouldn't move and rollers were too much.   We had to turn at campus to run Mo back and when we reach the Woodshed, I was done.  I am hoping that ending and not pushing will help going into next week and I will start to feel better physically and emotionally.
