not giving up on the comeback

I had so much going on yesterday that I didn't get out for any miles... which screwed up my weekly miles.  but my wife watched the kids after church today and let me do a couple hours. 

it was a bonus that the wind was much more calm than yesterday.  I felt good -I ran a lot of the marathon route for my race next month.  Dang, that is a hard route..
They made some changes to the course to keep the half and full people split for more mile.  Last year there was a lot of complaining that the slow half people were blocking the road for the quicker full people.  The changes they made have made it even harder than it already was.  Hills - hills - hills  - hills  oh and more hills.  it is like running on the back of a sea serpent.

just another ho-hum 6 miler --

i am loving that the days are getting longer.  my evening runs are a lot more fun (and faster) if I can see :)

6 @ 7:24  ave pace

A good run in the rain today.  I took a bit of a wrong turn and was .55 short, but it was a good stong effort through Druid Hills.

felt good tonight despite the cold and windy conditions - yucky weather

i added an extra 1.5 at the end cause i missed .5 yesterday.   

7.5 @ 7:13 ave pace

no idea why but my legs a lead today.  i hate to do it, but i cut the 10 miles down to 6.  at the rate i was going I never would have made it back in time to get the kids from school.  

it was one of those days where it felt bad from the beginning mile.  I'd like to think that I can do another short one tonight but with my wife having to work until 7 or so, I doubt it.  Not a great week going here...

6.1 at 7:54 pace

Tomorrow’s race should be fun -- 25degrees  with 10mph wind – feels like 15deg…

Not a PR day – now I  have an excuse  :)

for you cold weather people, that is balmy, but down here in GA, it is BIG yuck :)
