Short little run around the neighborhood with Nelle on a beautiful Sunday morning,  5 mile trail loop.  Nelle was only good for about 7:30 min/mil pace which was fine.   Had a skunk incident,  so I had to put her on her leash for a while which slows me down a bit.

Ended up with a 7:22 average.

Was planning on running 8 miles this morning, ran 3 at in 20:30 then I decided I would like to swim today as well so I took a quick water break and then tried running an 18min 5K.  Ended up doing it in 18:24, Started out at 6:19 pace for 2 minutes and then bumped up to 5:30. I just can't seem to hold that 5:30 pace for longer than about 1 mile at a time.  Next time I'll just try holding a 5:50 the entire time instead of trying to make it up late in the run.

Did an easy 1/2 mile swim to try and relax the muscles, then sat in the hottub.

5 1/2 miles before speed work class today, 2 miles during class.  Feeling much better this week, I can actually walk.  May try and get in another 5 at lunch.

Met with Ryan at the Gym for lunch, he wanted to run 8 getting ready for Ragner next week so we ran the trail to the dead end and back for 6 miles at a steady 6:45 pace, I normally don't run at lunch so that was the first run in the sun I've done in a long time.  I definately need to do more of those and get used to running hot.  We finished up on the treadmill, I suggested we run the last mile in 6:00, we kept pushing the button up and up and ended up doing it in about 5:45.

Ran to work today, it wasn't real pleasant.  My legs where burning when I woke up, I thought it would go away after a mile or so, but it never did, they fought me the entire way here. Kind of windy and a lot of trucks at 5:30 in the morning.  Now I know why that isn't my normal running route.  Between my burning legs and the wind I did it in 1:21:07.

Got a call at 4:00 pm Thursday saying I needed to fly to California for an EA Sports event,  Worked until 3:00 am Friday morning and then had to be back at 6:00 am.  Worked the event and missed my flight by 10 minutes so now I'm stuck in LAX for 4 hours and don't get home until Midnight.  That is 3 hours of sleep in the last 44 hours, I don't think I'll get my run in tomorrow either. 

Hope this sort of thing doesn't happen when I start my TOU Training or I'll be in pretty bad shape.
