Had a hard time getting out this morning. I forgot to set the alarm because I was too tired last night. My body feels like it has been beat up.

My run was un eventful slow pace. I just ran to get the body woke up. Each mile I thought I put in the same effort. When I got home my pace was getting faster and ended up with a 9:20 pace. I was only going to run a 10:00.

Later I ran a quick 3/4 mile @ 7.30 pace just for fun.

Good job pushing yourself out the door. One thing that happens to almost everyone during the taper is that you start to feel little aches and pains that you haven't felt before. You just have to ignore them and tell yourself everything is fine and that these feelings are normal.

It's already started with me too. Yesterday and this morning I was having weird pains in my knee and hip... I just know from past races and years that everything is fine and my body is just crying wolf.

Thanks Clyde!

After running saturday I felt Great! Better than any other 'long' dun. But as the day went a long I started hurting, hip lower back, knee and foot. They are starting to feel better now and hope that the backing off will give my energy back.

I appreciate your thoughts knowing that I am a rookie at this running stuff!
