5.95 am miles 54:55 9:13 ave pace, very tired. Put a little tape on my achilles, made a huge difference. I'm going to do this every day for a while. 10.9 pm miles. 8:48 ave. 6 miles on the track. I averaged about a nine minute pace on the track. I was pretty miserable, my legs felt heavy, every step was work and painful. This caused me to think negatively, which defeats the whole purpose of running. I tried to push out the negative and focus on positive things, this worked of course. I also became angry, I was upset that the running was so labored and hurting and I'm sick and tired of the cold. The last two miles I picked up the pace out of anger. My last two miles were 8:13 and 8:15. Tomorrow should me an easy day, only one short run in the morning. Saturday I've got to put down a 20 miler, I've been putting it off the last two weekends, now is the time. I iced both achilles tendons, light day tomorrow, looking to be reasonably strong on Saturday. Oh, and did I say I was sick of the cold? Yes, I'm sick of the cold. Next week is supposed to be lows in the high teens and highs in the low 30's. Yipee!
