I ran the Payson Park loop this morning but I didn't extend down to the park, my legs were really tired and by the time I got back to the house it was a death march, it was not a fun run but I got her done. I still have the pinched nerve down my left leg and it really bothers my lower leg area, its not real fun. It takes a few miles to get it to go away as far as the pain and then its not to bad, or should I say its tolerable. Sometimes I wonder if I can really keep running, it always seems to be something that holds me back... I hope this doesn't keep me from training and missing SG again, if does I might be done for good. I finished up with some lite upper body weight training and then some push-ups. My average pace was slow at 8:57 with a total time of 55:42.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out past Mini GU via canal road and then back to the house the same way, I felt really bad the first mile or so but then I loosened up and I had a pretty good rhythm going the rest of the way. My average pace was slower at 8:39 with a total time of 52:38 I finished up with lower body weight training. 

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Payson Park Loop this morning and I extended all the way to the Park, it was a nice morning but the run was very difficult. The last few miles were pretty tough and basically just jogged them in, I'm not sure what happened but my legs were so dead. My average pace was way slow at 9:04 with a total time of 1:04:55, after the run I did my upper body weight training and then finished up with some push-ups. Tough run and day and I wonder sometimes on a run like this if it really does me any good... Maybe it toughened me up mentally, who knows, but a run is a run and I will count this as in the bag, so to speak.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini Gu and then back to the house, I felt better than yesterday but still pretty tired towards the end. It must have been form the leg presses on Tuesday that I did, pretty much made my legs dead. My average pace was still slower than normal at 8:46 with a total time of 53:15. I will probably run tomorrow to just to see if the old legs are getting better, I have had another pretty good week so far.
See ya tomorrow.

I ran out towards Mini GU and I ran into Chad and Tom and Dan, so I ran with them up and around the pretty little hill loop and then back to GU Corner down to the base of Heart Break Hill, dropped them off there and then ran back to the house to finish up. I felt okay after my leg loosened up, but by the end of the run I was really starting to feel it, my average pace 8:35 with a total time of 1:37:31. I'm happy with the last few weeks of training and I hope this leg pain doesn't cause me to much trouble.

See ya Monday
