Ouch. Not-so-easy easy run this morning for 55 minutes around St. George. So exhausted and sore, I just plodded along as best I could... which wasn't very well. Hopefully my legs start feeling like legs again soon. (DS )

Another easy run. This time it was a bit easier, but still tired and slow. Just a half hour. Did some bodyweight exercises as my 'weights' afterwards. Got a massage from April later, it killed. I hope it helps with the issues I've been having. (DS )

Speed workout. Not so speedy. Legs still were feeling quite dead and I didn't wake up early enough to run in the cool weather. It was pretty hot, at least to my wimpy Logan-acclimated self. Warmed up on an extended version of the DI loop, then did the speed workout: 2000 with first half @ GP 3:45, then the next at race effort half over hurdles (sadly, no water jump at PV), then 10 minutes break, then 5x300's @ GP 54 w/90 seconds recovery between, then 5 minutes break and a final set of 4x200's @ GP 33 w/3:00 recovery. Times didn't go so well. 3:55/7:44 then 58, 56, 56, 55, 54 then 35, 34, 33, 33. So, I was a bit off today. Mostly I'm just still dead from last week. (DS ) (S spike )

Easy half hour again, this time in Baltimore! Ran around my sister's house, enjoyed the scenery and cool weather. (DS )

Did abs and other exercises tonight after a long day on the town. Squats and lunges with a “medicine ball” (aka baby), then lots of abs (used a sack of rice for those).

Another speed workout, this time at Towson High's track in Baltimore. Felt lots better than Wednesday, but still a bit tired. Warmed up on the track for two miles, then did 3x1000's @ GP 3:30 w/4:00 recovery, 10 minutes break, then 3x300's @ GP 51 w/3:00 recovery. Times were about on: 3:29, 3:31, 3:30, then 51, 51 and 51. I love running at sea level! My nephew and my niece came with me to the track and cheered me on, they got especially excited when I'd pass people. Good times. Cooled down on the road.

Dead again this morning, went out and survival-shuffled for 45 minutes. I'm feeling pretty exhausted, part jet-lag and part running around Baltimore with my sisters nonstop for the last few days. (DS )
