I am trying to get back into the swing of things by running every day no matter what the mileage. I'm starting to feel like I'm making progress again.

Today I ran the Jesse Owens 10k in Moulton Al. My goal for this race was 50 minutes. I woke up this morning with a stomach problem and had to visit the john on two occasions before leaving the house.I didnt eat anything for the fear of having to make a pit stop during the race.After the race started I felt good for the first 3 miles and was on pace.Between miles 3 and 4 I started having trouble again.I had to slow down and try to work through it.I stopped at the water station and thought that a drink of water would help.After I started back running my legs felt weak. My breathing was good the whole race but my legs were like noodles.I think that it was a combination of no food and a nervous stomach.I started feeling a little better around the last mile and tried to finish strong.I still almost ran a high 50 but was a little disappointed when I didnt meet my goal. Oh well, the good thing about races is that there will be more.

51:10 on my garmin. Not sure of the official time yet.

Last year I ran a 54:49 at this race.

Another six miles today. It was more humid today so it felt a little more like a workout than yesterday. Running through the neighborhood, it looked like eveyone was getting ready for a long holiday weekend.

I worked last night so I slept until 1:00 pm.I got up and opened the pool (because the kids have been on me hard) and went for a run and then came back and jumped into the pool.Very refreshing!

I was very busy with jobs around the house today so when I finally got out to run it was almost dark.I ran 2 miles at a easy pace and then picked it up to a 7:50 pace and then was around a 7:05 pace the third mile,and feeling very good until I got a huge bug in my eye and ruined the whole run.I could not get it out and had to come back home to a mirror.By then my eye was swelled and blood shot.Some dummy almost ran over me to.(he must have been texting)!
