Tough morning of 4x1mile repeats. Did the same repeats I've been doing in January but just couldn't seem to get going.  The times weren't too bad. However, I was slower than a couple weeks ago.  I think a lot of it was mental and I did have a little headwind.

1 - 5:16

It was good to get going again after being sick most of last week. I still felt a little jacked during the run but, it's to be expected. 9.25 miles @ 8:10 pace.

Easy Run to the store this morning. My legs are actually a little tight from getting going again this week after being sick.

Club run tonight. Did the "Pilot" loop. Averaged about 6:40 pace for the run with a little pick-up toward the end.  My stomach started acting up pretty bad, I'm wondering if it had anything to do with my Nucca adjustment this morning.

Easy run this monring. My stomach was still acting up a bit, so I just took it easy. Everything else feels pretty good.

Ran with Logan and Dave this morning. I'm not sure what happened with the other guys. Ran from Dave's house up to the start of the DT Half Marathon and ran to the finish. Picked up the pace a bit towards the end. 6:45 average for the whole run. My quads were a bit hammered, I think I'm still not totally back after being sick last week.

 Extra mile this evening -

Great run this morning. 4x1 mile on my 9 mile morning loop. I was a little nervous going into this run this morning due to having some pretty tight/ tired towards the end of the last two run but I ended up working through it.

1 - 5:04 - started off a little too fast and paid for it the rest of the workout.

2 - 5:20 -

3 - 5:24 -

4 - 5:21-

Overall the workout went well. I was faster than a couple weeks ago (21:33) with a total time of 21:09 but not as fast as three weeks ago (20:56).

Met up at the CC with the club. Nice solid steady run.  Hips, neck, shoulders feel really weird, I think it's from my chiro adjustment last week.

For some reason I'm feeling pretty beat-up this week. I decided not to get up and run with the group this morning. My calves and right arch are killing me and I wanted to take it really easy.

Good run - store loop - 7:30 average.

River loop from the house - really easy for the first 1.5 and the last 2.5. Then did 10 miles @  6:26 average. Had about 4 miles worth of pick-ups during the 10 miles. The whole run felt very robot like - I just didn't feel very fluid. I probably need a massage. I kept thinking the whole run about how much I really don't want to race this weekend. - How's that for an affirmation?

Nice and Easy this morning. I spent a good hour last night stretching, using the stick, and foam roller. It made a huge difference. Good run this morning.

Morning run 6 miles.

Evening Run 9 miles - I was planning on going out with the club this evening but, Kendra needed to go to the InstaCare - she hasn't been feeling well lately. After getting her taken care of and the kids settled I was able to get out and do 9 miles about 7pm on the store loop.

Except for the wind we had a great run this morning at the DogTown Half Marathon.

Here's the splits:

1- 5:45

2-6:04

3-5:51

4-5:53

5-5:47

6-6:00

7-6:23

8-6:19

9-6:10

10-5:40

11-5:59

12-6:04

13-5:42

13.3- 1:34 (5:48 pace)

The course ended up being .2 too long.  I ended up with a watch time of 1:19:25- 5:59 average pace, which is one second slower than I did at the SG Half a month ago.  However, I do think this was a much tougher course and the wind ( 18+ mph up dam rd.) was pretty bad as well. I went and took off the extra .2 miles and came up with a time of 1:18:25.
