I was way tired and could hardley pull myself out of bed to run at 6:00 am today. It has bean a long and hard week with everything, especially school. I really would have liked to run with Jon, Paul, and Cody this afternoon, but since I had Basketball game at 11:00 am and we are trying to leave town to go see my family for the weekend, so I figured I had better get up and get things done.
My left leg was sore and aching this morning and made me alter my stride a bit. I don't know what is going on with it, because it hurt last night when I was climbing the rock wall at the Celebration center, and after when I ran upto the Field house to play Basketball. I think that I am just getting old have have arthritis in my ankle or something!
The run wasn't too bad even with the added discomfort. I went down Boulevard, past the old house on the Island, and upto the bench at the top of River Heights. I came back along Canyon road and the dug-way, and finished with the 800 North hill.
Time: 37:14
I felt fatigued today after a good hard week of training. I reached my goal for mileage again this week (35). I am finally feeling like I am getting in better shape after a whole month of running now. I think adding 5 miles a week is working good for me, so I will do it again next week. About 36.5 for the week, 40 miles are scheduled for next week. |
