not a whole lot of motivation tonight body still s little stiff from the hectic weekend and a double header playing softball this morning did not do a whole lot to improve it but wanted to get out and move all the same waited for it to cool down then took my 27th west loop slow and easy this time making sure everything gets warmed up without over taxing or over working it thoughts about the relay and how things played out rolling thorough my mind funny how things go sometimes :)

So still trying to work the lactic acid out with some slow steady pacing went on my temple loop making sure not to push too much stride stretch and recover enjoying the cooling evening air and watching the sun set thankful for everything i am blessed with and get to enjoy :) life is amazing in so many ways .Things really starting to loosen up and get back to normal....well somewhat feeling better all the way around just the same

To think I almost took solstice day off lol with the coolish temps and an evening ahead set out on my13 mi route as the run progressed everything seemed to flow together so well reaching state street and 114th south feeling great and looking up the hill thinking why not and proceeded to keep going up to 13th east it did not wear me up too bad could tell my legs were still far from fresh but still churned the hill rather well turning south and winding down the long bending downhill toward 123rd had to really concentrate not to lose my footing lol bending west and heading for home happy to have talked myself into putting the extra daylight to good use with a new 15 mile route instead of the 13 i had set out for always nice to explore and try different routes to mix it up  

With heavy legs and feeling tired from shuttling containers around the valley and rushing home to mow the grass my reward was the opportunity to run inspiring rolling hills of the temple loop lol on the road just after 8 cooling evening air was just right to start but getting my legs going was the key they needed a little rejuvinating so running through a few sprinklers on the way was just the ticket was only intending to get 8 in since my legs were already tired but once on the way convinced myself otherwise sure glad for that :)

wanted to put some slow steady fat miles in tonight so i went on my 27th west loop keeping a reign on myself to keep it slow and smooth moderate pace without getting too fast work on stride and form rythm and stretch :) came across a few other runners one passed me as i went still did not try to push the pace just run inside myself not a competition good to keep at my own pace like i do in races dont pick up somebody elses timing feeling good all the same sometimes slow running is as rewarding as running well at a race 

Well a pizza and salad bar buffet for dinner is not the most condusive to a night run more wanted to go to bed instead but out under the full moon i go to help with digestion lol not as fast as some workouts but by the time i reached the 3 mi point was feeling so much better not quite full stride but good enough (and sometimes good enough is just that)  after what seemed like a month long week at work was  happy friday was finally here

Not much sleep last night could not really settle in until the sun started coming up and welcoming the day feeling a little frisky decided to get some faster work in not often i run similar routes back to back but today i did just a little shorter than last night pushing the pace up but not really to an uncomfortable level but a good fast pace expanding the lungs and striding out with the rest of the body really conscious of how everything was working together at an up scale pace
