My first Post Concussion run... I felt okay but my legs were tired and sore. Oh well... My poor truck. Damn. My average pace was 9:09 with a total time of 56:11, I finished up with some lower body weights. I guess I'll see if I get a headache as the day goes on. Hopefully I am in the clear.

See you tomorrow. Hopefully.

I just feel broken... I felt like I was just broken and my legs are so weak and tired, I don't know what to do. The last 6 miles I averaged 10:00 mile, not good. I have been struggling since I came back from Covid. I really dont know if that is still the problem or if its something else. Oh well.

See you Monday.

Elliptical for 45 minutes, I finished up with some upper body weights and some push-ups. Moderate pace on the elliptical, no more goose eggs. I have to strt being better at doing some thing every day. No more excuses. I'll just have to battle through this damn virus until its finally out of my body. The doctor seems to think the same thing.

See you tomorrow.

SLow and Painful and just down right messerable. Doctors say I am still recovering from the virus and then theres the Concussion from my wreck a month ago... I am a freaking mess. Mya verage pac ewas as slow as it can get at 9:54 with a total time of 1:10:56, I finished up with some upper body weights and some push-ups. I'm not sure about St Goerge this year, I have a tough time just getting through the weekly 7 miles so not sure what to do at this point.

See you tomorrow.

I am just broken and tired. 6 miles is about  the max my poor legs will go, SGM is a no go I think at this point. Hopefully they will let me defer to next year. My average pace slow at 9:42 with a total time of 59:31, upper body weights to finish up.

See you tomorrow.
