not giving up on the comeback

nice and easy 5.5 this afternoon.  things feeling ok.  legs a little tired 

5.5 @  7:58 ave pace 

feeling kind of mopey, I guess about my race on Saturday, and generally just didn't feel like running.  Then a thunderstorm rolled through so I had an excuse.  Of course, then the clouds parted.  I took that as a sign and I went out.  Felt pretty good and ran a lot further than I had planned.  Sweated bucketloads but had a nice run.  VERY glad I went out.  That is always how it works.  Threw in a couple low 7s.  Need to be throwing in low 6's, but that will come.  

7.7 @ 7:24 ave pace 

Ran at 6:45 PM today.  Felt a little clunky at the start but then settled into a groove I guess.  

Each mile was faster than the next.  The last 1.6 were at 6:45. 

6.6 @ 7:10 ave pace

Ran over to the local shoe store to run with the group.  Missed them by a few minutes apparently so I ran the route and caught up with the stragglers.  Made a wrong turn at one point,which added nicely to the mileage.  Got back to the store and ran home.  First few miles were in the rain, which was fun.

Ran around 7pm for a second of the day and felt a lot better. Progressively faster.  I need ti start running faster more often.  

4 @ 6:56 ave pace  - last mile at 6:11 really brought down the ave pace

Went out around noon after housecleaning all morning.  Felt ok.
