See you tomorrow.

I felt horrible this morning. legs would not go and the pace sucked. Oh well. I got her done. My average pace was 10:07 with a total time of 1:12:07. I wish I could get my legs to turnover faster but they just don't want to copperate. I guess this is what being old is all about.

See you tomorrow.

This pretty much sucked. Slow and labored and not very fun at all. I stayed with it and did the best i could but the old legs were super slow and tired. My average pace was 9:48 with a total time of 1:49:27, I finished up with some upper and lower body weights and then some pushups. It was still a decent week as far as mileage goes so I'll take it.

See you Monday.
