Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

Ran to the rec a nicer but longer route. This took a fork lift but somehow I made it to the door by almost 11am. Oh my did the start feel so agonizing. There just was no zip to my zap. I slept over 8 hours and still I wanted to sleep more. I think the Olympic viewing plus working nights and trying to be a runner has taken my zap away. Adrenal fatigue is probably the cause for this crash and its hard to zip out of it. But I did my best and overall I am happy I pushed myself. So 4 mile run to the rec at 8:33 pace, each half mile increasing the pace starting with a 9:30 pace. Love the rolling hills there. Got on TM and ran another mile, increasing the speed every 30 to 90 seconds to 7:24 pace just before "take off". Ran the scheduled plan of 3 miles at short tempo pace: 6:49, 6:49 and 6:35 (0 to 1% incline) in a row, no stopping. The last .1 miles I increased it to 6:11 pace. Could have run them faster especially the end but was feeling like I shouldn't push it too much yet. My lower back, buttocks and hamstrings have some intense nerve pain and soreness that I just ignore. This could still be part of adrenal fatigue as these are symptoms listed on line. Got to get rid of the right shoe uneven problem before I get a serious injury. It is causing my foot to turn inward and some slight pain in the arch. I am heading to the peddler right after I shower. Ran a two mile "cooldown" on the TM at 7:35 (.5% incline) pace then ran home the four mile route at 7:47 pace (5:55 fastest pace on garmin : D). Laid on the grass meditating. It felt great to be done. So my 10 miler turned into 15? Who would have guessed?

Those are some smoking tempo speeds, and your "cooldown" miles are on the fast side too! Glad you are feeling better. Good thing you are getting that shoe fixed--arch pain=plantar fascitis=a road you do not want to go down--

Good job! I wish I was speedy! I knew you would be back running.

I know you'd get that runnin' feeling back in 24 hrs. At least you know what seems to take the zip out of your zap.

My goodness, your legs have amazing memories and speed. That is a GREAT feeling to be done, planning 10 and got 15...SO YOU!!! Hope you get that uneven shoe fixed!

Hi friends. The shoe problem should be resolved. Hawk just let me take his "zeroed" shoes in the same size and he would talk to the shoe repairman. That so made it that much nicer. Hawk is so nice. The ones he had were obviously even so I put them on and went "ahhhh" that's the way they are supposed to feel. Now to break them in. Luckily these have been tried on a few times so at least they are a little broken in. Somehow Kim convinced me to run 10 with her in the morning at 545am!! Now I have to get to bed early. At least I will have my run done early but that's over 25 miles in less than 24 hours again. This isn't the Ragnar Relay but sure is feeling like it :D.
