Ran a very slow and easy 5 miles along the Provo river running trail. My mid point wher turned back was just past riverside country club. I didn't feel like running much faster until about 3.5 miles. Just trying to ease into a steady running routine. My average pase was 9 min miles. It feels good to run.

Muscles were sore last night when I ran so I did a 3 mile recovery run. Avr. between and 9 and 10 minute miles. I didn't feel like running or going faster until 2.5 miles into the run. the first morning after my 5 mile run I was very hungry and eating everything in site. morning after 2nd run which is actually the 23 I don't feel as hungry. I think that I would like to switch to morning runs eventually but I would have to run around 4:30 or 5 am to fit it into my morning schedule.

my right achilles tendon hurt and after a mile I was thinking of just doing three at 1.5 it started to loosen so I ran 5 but I made sure to not push. I ran at an avr 10 min mile picking up the pace after 2.5. in between 2.5 and 3.5 I felt the best I could feel the steady pace kick in and I began to do the gut regulation of my hips making sure that I was keeping a steady rpm. this morning the 24th my achillies tendon was a little sore but I dont think I hurt it. I will probably do another 3 mile recovery run today.

This has been one of the most difficult runs this week mentally and endurance wise to keep running. Didn't feel like running until 2.5 miles into the run. I saw a lady resting on the trail with lots of bags from maceys about 100 meters from the end of the run. I helped her carry them home. I was able to get and extra .25 miles in because of it.

I walked 1.5 miles but no running.

ran 2 miles muscle were a little tight I wanted to loosen then up with a short run so I could do a longer run the next day Tuesday.

I ran 3 miles at a 10 min pace my body is feeling more in shape. I am going to make it a goal to not miss another day of my 6 day running even if it is just 1 mile.
