Glad I ran today after yesterday's debacle. Ran v easy, but felt fine. Think problem yesterday might have been dehydration--let the warmth and humidity sneak up on me before and during the run, as I was a full pound heavier after my run today than yesterday.

Schooner Head in the cool mist. Really depressing how hard it feels to run sub 8:30 pace. Ugh.

Couldn't motivate to run, played a quick 9 holes of golf on the (almost) run instead.

Got out there this morning, ran WHP from HC with PH loop added. Started slow up the steep hill then get it to sub 8:00 for the final three miles. What used to be recovery felt like tempo, but I have to start somewhere.

Starting to feel a little more like a runner. A little. Nice warm run with Shannon after work. Need to find people to run with again--it helps!

Nice day, easy SH. Achilles are a little cranky so will need to make sure they hang with me as I up mileage.

Surprise double-digit run in VT, just kept up with Courtney and was able to make it to the end. Averaged 8:45s so no big speed but happy and came through OK.

Slow run 2x around Indian Brook. Ran for a little under 4 miles but 40+ minutes plus some hiking, so calling it 4.

Gorgeous day, an easy Schooner Head 5 miles. Felt the knee during the run but as tightness not pain. Will take tomorrow off as a precaution.

Knee still sore, so just golf. But walked/carried, so there is that.

Beautiful day, Schooner Head. Felt good and picked up the pace or so it felt, ended up running exactly the same time as Wednesday :-/

Frustrated, felt very ill yesterday so planned run fell through, still shaky today so ran 4. Felt OK during run, so picked it up a bit, but just maintaining, not making progress.

Schooner Head @ noon with Gareth. Nice warm day, felt a little shaky before but fine during, so that's encouraging.

Ran WHP from HC, did 6 x 1:00 pickups to remind my legs about running fast, ended up averaging sub-8:00s for the whole thing. Need to lose weight, run a few more pickups, and I might do an OK race or two this summer. Also 18 holes of golf with Duane.

Aunt Betty waiting for L at Pilates. First of the year? Ran easy on a warm evening, really didn't attack the hills, especially 7 Bridges, felt good except for left extensor. Sciatic fine, but something has to give way I guess :-/
