Just toolin along canal road trying to beat the storm. I was able to get done just before it really started to pour. My average pace was 8:55 with a total time of 55:06, i finished up with some upper and lower body weights and some pushups.  I'm glad I got out.

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.

Out to Mini Gu Corner and back. I felt lots better than yesterday which was nice. My tunrove3r was more normal but my legs always just feel not loose. It might be old age. my average pace was 9:15 with a total time of 56:48. I'm glad I was able to get out this morning. it was perfect temperature.

See you tomorrow.

Out to Mini Gu again and then back to the house. Legs were okay but I just can not open my stride... I'm just have no flexablity. Just stiff. Oh well I'll give it my best shot next week. My average pace was 9:19 with a total time of 57:32, I finished up with some upper body weights and some pushups.

See you monday
