Struggled on this one. The last two long runs have been so slow and so labored and no fun. My average pace was 10:00 with a total time of  2:13:03. I have dropped down to the St George half instead of the full... Just not feeling it this year. 

See you Monday.

Out to the riverbottoms and back. I felt pretty good through about 10 miles but then the last 3 miles were slow and tired and pretty tough. My average Pace was 9:14 with a total time of 2:01:05. It was a pretty good week for me mileage wise so I am good with the week.

See you Monday.

Pretty Little Hill extended but shorter than last week, My legs were not having it this morning. My average pace was 9:50 with a total time of 1:00:08, I finished up with some lower body weights. Its amazing how mush slower I am than a few years ago... I guess this is what being old is like. It sucks.

See you tomorrow.
