7 miles out on the road but I wanted 10... My legs were just so tired and they would not respond at all. Its the worse run I've had in a long while. I mean its always a struggle but today was really rough. Finished up n the elliptical and that was rough as well. lower body weights after the elliptical. My average pace was 10:06 with a total time of 1:13:23. I'm sure glad the race wasn't today because it would have been rough.

See you Monday.

I ran this for Charlie Kirk.  Such a sad day. No one deserves that. He was a man of God and a great Father and Husband and a true Patriot. My average pace was 7:55 with a total time of 1:03:26. I had 6 MP Miles at 7:56, 7:51, 7:44, 7:37, 7:30, 7:52. I'm pretty happy with the effort. I have some kind of Alergy or cold that I'm dealing with and I was lacking energy. heres to a better day.

See you tomorrow.

Pretty Little hill and then back to the house. I didnt feel good at all. The legs would not respond and my stride was so slow and shallow. My average pace was slow at 10:03 with a total time of 1:01:45. I finished up with some upper and lower body weights and some pushups. Days like  these make me wonder why I keep doing this. It was a struggle.

See you tomorrow.
