Today my run did not feel very good. The first three or so miles were very hard, my legs, calves were tight. It felt a bit better around mile 4 or five, but still was not a great feeling run. Don't know what it was, just very heavy tired legs.

So I did a bit less and a bit slower today. I felt better, probably could have done a bit more but thought this was good for today :)

Well today did not feel so good. Why is it that the first 2-3 miles of a run always feel hard? Then on top of it I needed to have a potty break twice in the first 21/2 mile AGHHHH I feel like I was fighting my body the entire way. Well mile 4 or 5 didn't feel too bad:) I'm hoping that it's still just that my legs have not fully recovered from the race Saturday. I took it slower... but not really by choice LOL

Today was better then yesterday... maybe I'm finally recovered from the race... Man being old stinks, it takes too long to recover when you push yourself a bit harder.

Today was a complete running debacle! A while ago a running friend had told me about some new trails in N. Ogden, so I planned on running there. It's closer to my house and I really wanted to run some trails today. I parked at the trail head parking lot just up N. Ogden divide, the sign said Bonneville Shoreline trail, sweet this should be great! right! I start going and pretty soon I realize I'm way too over dressed, I NEVER expose my tummy but after 20 minutes I'm dieing, so I figure I have not seen any one else so it will be safe to take off my shirt and just run with my sports bra. Soon I realize I can not find the trail... I take a path that heads straight up the mountain... thinking it will go in the right direction. I huff up a huge hill, and when it finally levels off and I can run a bit it dead ends!!! AGHHH... I can see a trail below but can't get to it... so down the steep path back to where another path heads off.... I think I'm good now... then the trail heads into a barb wire fence what the heck!.... down the tail again and out to another trail head, and now there are bikers... and I have my shirt tied to my waist... I think... I don't know them so it will be OK and I can ask about how to get on the right trail. As I approach one of the bikers I realize much to my shame he works at my building... oh the shame of it... I tough it out and ask if he knows how to get to the trail that I point to. He tells me he has only gone the other direction. So now I'm determined to get to that trail and have a good run!!! I run down the road a bit until a get to another open area that goes up to the trails.... Ureaka!!! I'm thinking this is it... Climb up the first steep part then I will be happily running this trail. The trail levels off a bit and two to three turns onto the trail and it dead ends!! I'm talking complete dead end to a cliff.... So down I go again... back the way I had started I'm thinking this is crazy I have been out here for 40 minutes and still have not the trail that I think I can run on. So dishearted I slowly jog up the trail that all the biker are taking, that is not going the direction I had planned, I turn around at the 55 minute mark and head back to my car. :( I think I got about 51/2 miles of a run in, but it was a hard effort with all the climing. Today all my kids and grandkids are coming over for birthday party (Husband, oldest son and oldest grandaughter) I hope that everyone else had a better run. Have a great weekend.
