not giving up on the comeback

Got in a couple of runs today.  I felt good after taking the rest day yesterday.  I guess that is what rest days are for.  The weather was cooler today after some rain moved through this weekend.  It made the runs quite easy and pleasurable.  

Total miles 9.3 at 7:13 pace average.  

did think I'd have someone to watch the kids while my wife worked tonight so I ran after work.  Of course grandma then took them away for the evening and I'd run too hard to make it worthwhile to go to track night.  Oh well, I had a good run anyway.  And I got a few minutes of quiet to go to the library, get a few books, and read on the back porch...

 8 miles 7:06 pace.

Chrys has stuff again tonight so I got my butt out there this morning before work.  I'm not a morning runner but just because I'm usually lazy.  I felt good and got in a few miles.

Then I ran at work lunch break for another few. The wind was killer on the way back and made the going hard.  These cooler temps are really helping my pace.  This pace feels pretty good.  I just really need to hit some speedwork.  Maybe tomorrow I can do a few tempo miles in the middle of my 8-10.  I hope so.

Total was 8.55 (or thereabouts) and the ave pace was 7:01

Today I wanted to do a tempo run and I actually did it.  I felt guilty for not getting any speed work done on Tuesday, since I missed track night.  Anyway, I felt good for some reason.  No aches or pains and No hunger pangs (a few saltines before heading out) so I had no excuses, well except maybe the wind.   Anyway I felt good over the hills of Druid Hills (where they filmed the house part of the movie Driving Miss Daisy).  I need to do this every week.  Someone make me do this.  :)

2 miles warmup - 7:30 ish

4 miles tempo - 6:12 /mile

2 miles cooldown - 7:30 ish

How does one day feel great and easy and the next day feels horrible?  I just didn't get into it at all today.
