I feel like I am going backwards... Legs are tired before I even get started. It feels like I have run a marathon before I even start. Not sure what has happened. Its been a slow downward spiral over that last couple of years. I refuse to believe that its an age thing. To lose so much so fast doesnt make any sense. My average pace was super slow at 10:25 with a total time of 43:05. Frustrating.

See you tomorrow.

To cold outside for this old man. If the wind hadn't been blowing then I wouldve gone outside. I hope I can be more consistant. 45 Minutes Elliptical and the some upper body weights to finish up.

See you tomorrow.

Out towards Mini Gu Corner and then back to the house. Legs felt a little more fluid today but still clunky. I'll take it. my average apce was 9:17 with a total time of 40:43, I'm happy with the effort. I'm trying to get more water into my diet to see if that will help me get back to feeling better.

See you tomorrow.

Out towards Payson on canal road. Legs were still feeling the same. Myabe this is the new me. Just super slower than I am use to. My average pace was 9:46 with a total time of 41:10, I finished up with some upper body weights and some push ups.

See you tomorrow.

Legs are just super stiff all the time. veery frustrating. My average pace has slowed to a crawl. Sucks. My average pace was 10:24 with a total time of 43:05, this sucks and I'm not sure what the problem is. Im hydrated. Oh well.

See you tomorrow.
