Really rough run again this morning, my foot really hurt too. I noticed it more on the downhill than the flat, that doesn't bode well for the Nebo Half... My average pace was super slow at 9:49 with a total time of 1:09:58, I finished up with some upper body weight training and some push-ups. Frustrating.

See you tomorrow.

The first few miles were really slow and stiff but then I started to just work on my tunrover to try and get my legs to loosen up and it seemed to work. My average pace was 8:57 with a total time of 1:03:50, miles 4,5,6,7 were all in the 8:30 or better range. Foot cooperated for the most part.

See you tomorrow.

Payson Park loop, My legs are just gone and my ITband and Glute on the right side are just down right painful. I couldn't get them to loosen up this morning so my pace was way off again. I feel like I am right back to where I was before the Protein drink. Frustrating. Average pace was slow at 9:41 with a total time of 1:10:32.

See you tomorrow.

I just feel like I am getting slower and slower and slower... Legs hurt and I just don't have any energy and turnover at all. I can't remember being so frustrated and just discouraged with my running. My average pace was slow at 9:40 with a total time of 2:07:37... Nebo Half should be interesting next week. I don't think I'll take 2nd in my age and 1 sub 1:40 like last year... No way in Hell.

See you Monday.
