Out past Mini Gu Corner and back, I just tried to work on my turnover and try to stay smooth and it seemed to work for the most part. My average pace was 8:34 with a total of 1:01:49, I finished up with some lower body weight training.

See you tomorrow.

Out to Payson Park and back via canal road. I felt just horrible. Weak and tired and just no energy at all. My average pace was 9:24 with a total time of 1:07:37, i finished up with some upper body weights and some push-ups. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I am not improving at all really, I'm not getting stronger or quicker. Its just frustrating. Oh well. Maybe this is what old age feels like... if it is then it sucks!

See you tomorrow.

Crashed hard after 10 miles... It was a death march after that. Frustrating. Average pace was 9:15 with a total time of 2:19:05.

See you Monday.
