Out to the Riverbottoms and back. I was NOT feeling this morning... Legs were dead and the turnover sucked big time... I just can't seem to get back to where I use to be. Maybe it is old age. Whatever it is it sucks! My average pace was 10:07 with a total time of 1:42:57, I finished up with some upper and lower body weights and some pushups. Heres to better days.

See you Monday.

So slow and my legs were just so freaking tired and unable to respond. Oh well. My average pace was 10:26 with a total time of 1:04:24. Like I said super slow. Hopefully the legs will start cooperate.

See you tomorrow.

Out to the riverbottoms and back. I felt pretty good today. my turnover was a lot better and my legs handled the mileage just fine. I felt like I could have keep going for a few more. My average pace was 9:23 with a total time of 1:54:37. My pace was a little better than it should. I stopped to talk to my wife and I forgot to trun off my watch. A decent week for me mileage wise. I am happy with the effort.

I felt really good on this one. I hammered the uphill and the flat areas it seemed like old times and my trunover was pretty damn good. My average pace was 9:21 with a total time of 1:07:16, I finished up with some upper and lower body weights and some pushups. Great run and workout. I hope I have more of these.

See you tomorrow.

Testing out the ankle and all seems good. Pace was really upbeat again and like old times. So exciting if it will continue to trend in this direction. I hope it will. My average pace was 8:37 with a total time of 1:02:15, I finished up with some upper and lower body weights and some pushups. It wasn't a long run but I wasn't to sure on how my ankle was going to hold up. So glad it did.

See you Monday

Out to Payson Park and back via canal road. The legs were a little tired this morning so I just tried to keep the pace easier. Around a 9 minute pace.  My average pace was 9:00 with a total time of 1:04:56.

Out towards Payson park again but I didn't extend to the park. I wasn't as fast as I was in the first part of the week but turnover was stil pretty good and I beat the 9 minute guy which means I am still better than High School. My average pace was 8:48 with a total time of 55:15, i finished up with some upper body weights and some pushups.

See you tomorrow.

Out to the river trail and then made my way back. Pace was slow again today and the legs just felt they were waisted. My average pace was 9:33 with a total time of 2:06:00, just not what I thought it would be today with all the better p;aces that I have had this week. I did not eat enough yesterday which probably was part of the problem and then I actually broke the 40 mile barrier. I need to be smarter. but still a pretty decent week for me.

See you Monday.
