"A Hefty Hunk Of Steamin Junk"

I ran the Payson Park Loop this morning but I cut out the rollers, my back was hurting me and my groin was tender and then my abdominal strain was really giving me trouble so it was a free for all this morning. I use to be able to run this route in like 53 minutes but now I just have to work really hard to brake 60 minutes, very frustrating! I did have a negative split on the way back so I did try harder on the way back, it took me 30 minutes to run out and then 28:32 on the way back. My average pace was still way slow at 9:23 with a total time of 58:32, I'm glad I still was able to get out today even if it was painful every step of the way. I did feel better on the way back, my body and back seemed to loosen up.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to Mini GU via canal road and I was really frustrated with the way I was feeling so as I was running I decided to try and watch my form and I couldn't beleive that I wasn't moving my upper body much at all so towards the end of my 3rd mile I decided to just let it all go and start really working with my upper body along with my legs. What a surprising effect, everything just started to flow together and I thought how easy the running was, so the next mile I really started to work on my form and the next mile was an easy 8:14, and then the next mile was 8:27 and then the last mile was 8:24... They were all sub 8:30 which is my usual training pace, I couldn't freaking believe it! All this time my upper body was restricting my lower body and so it was making it difficult to run. I will try it again tomorrow and see how I do, my average pace was 8:49 with a total time of 53:39. The first 2 miles were 9:30 and 9:20 and then the 3rd mile was 9:04, and I was really flowing good the rest of the way. I hope I have finally broke through and I hope this is the answer, talk about a crazy thing!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the payson Park loop again but I cut out the rollers, I ran after work and I wasn't to sure how my legs would respond today where I had been on my feet all day but they did pretty good. On the last 3 miles I tried to finish each mile strong and I think I accomplished thatfor the most part.  My average pace was 8:34 with a total time of 53:24, I have to really concemtrate on my form I feel like I am teaching my self to run all over again, but its all good. My back was still a bit of a bother the first couple of miles but after that it seemed to do pretty good.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the pretty little hill loop this morning, I was really tired but I got her done. My average pace was 8:52, I might run a little tomorrow but it will be really lite. It was nippy this morning and it looks like the shorts will be done after this weekend, suppose to really cool down, dang!

See you tomorrow.

I accidentally slept in this morning so I didn't get out until after 8am, I ran out past Mini GU and it was snowing pretty good so I started to head back and it stopped snowing for the most part so I did 2 mile repeats. I didn't run them fast just tried to stay steady, after returning to the house I ran out past the old barn on canal road to add a few more pace was just okay but the last 2 miles were sub 8:30 so I am on the right track. My average pace was 8:46 with a total time of 1:28:20, my goal is to get my training pace back down to 8:30 average or better and then I'll be able to start going after some speed...  I'm glad I got her in today, I almost copped out but I finished the week off right.

See ya Monday
