MUGGY!!!  too busy in am waking at 9am to piano drill sargeant then to dentist coordinator.  Left at 114pm in the stale air.  So not easy.  So fatigued.  Muscles ALL tight especially low back and hamstrings.  Just not a runner at the moment.  I can see how difficult it must be for a NON-runner to start a running regimen.  Oh My!! I felt so heavy.  I just could barely move my hips and legs.  Glutes so not engaged as the PT said.  Ran 5 struggling miles.  Not many sprinklers running at this hour so I was so very parched as well.  Can I sound anymore pathetic?  I would like to know who has taken my portion of optimism?  I am getting a heavy duty dose of negativity here.  Progressive pace 8:58,  8:09, 8:00, 7:27,  7:15.  AP 7:58.    BTW this type of fatigue hits every late Spring/Summer.  When the cool weather comes in my body changes.  Must be the negative ions sticking close to the surface, hence the negative energy.  Who has the positive ions?  Speak up.  : D

I am stoked for the fall and spring. I can do without summer or winter. Both extremes stink!
