I ran out to the old BYU farm and to the red brick house just shy of GU corner, still very cold and my legs reminded me that I am still fighting off an infection and they would not let me get going, it was brutal... One of my splits was a 10 minute mile, I mean I was barley moving my legs felt like they were in quicksand and to be honest with you I don't know how I got through it this morning! Its a good thing I had some great tunes to get me through or it would have been a total loss... I will have to see how I feel in the morning so I can determine how far I will go for tomorrows run, I know I will run but it might not be as far as usual I need to get over this cold and infection.

Average pace was 9:15, total time was 1:05:12, heart rate hovered around 144...

I also did the standard core training, push-ups and crunches using the rubber ball I was weak doing that as well.

Good job gutting it out and getting the run done even with the dead legs. Hopefully you're past the worst of it as far as the cold/infection.

Tom

My legs just haven't responded well lately. I don't know if it is the cold/infection or if I am over training, its been a weird deal.

But I will keep pushing on.

Clay I seem to be having a lot of dead leg trouble myself as of late. Not sure exactly why, I'm thinking the cold weather has a lot to do with it. Also in my case I've been trying to force some of my tempo runs and doing them too fast. Hopefully with warmer temps and being smart and listening to the body we end up in peak condition for later in the year.

I hope your right Tom because I have been really struggling the last 2 or 3 weeks. I don't eat real great and maybe that has something to do with it. I mean I don't eat real bad either, well atleast I don't think I do...? I think you know what I mean.

Do you still have the boxes of hersheys choclate bars in your bedroom closet? I know there full of antioxidents, right?
