not giving up on the comeback

A little heavy from weekend eating but today's lunch run felt great.  I did a new route and the temps were only 79.  I actually enjoyed this one.  Yea!  Will try to get out after work as well.  

4.4miles 7:13 ave pace

 added 4.3 good feeling miles this evening -- 7:30 pace

Felt ok when I left, but my chest felt weird in the first mile.  I may have been a little light on the fluids today since I felt bloated for some reason.  I ran to the track and then did  mile on it as more warmup.  I wanted to do 4 or 5 miles at cruise interval pace with a ogged lap in between.  My first hot lap I felt wonky again and stopped for a minute to collect myself.  After that things were fine.  The last two miles my achilles felt  little weird too.  I'm just falling apart...

1st - 5:58, 2nd 6:00, 3rd 5:58, 4th 5:56

I felt ok overall and I could have pushed more but I defenitely am feeling pretty comfortble at that pace.  I guess I should have one to two more miles, but I didn't want to push that foot too much at that pace. 

WIth the temps in the mid 80s I am enjoying running a bit more than when they were in the 90s...I felt good I guess and went a little further on my new route that I did on Monday.   No issues with my feet today so that is a relief.  I'm little sore in the legs but nothing bad.  Undecided if I want to do another 4 or so at home tonight...

5.6  7:03/mile

took it easy on the way to the turnaround

did some 2 min pickups with 2 min easy on the way back.  Took the last mile easy.  

7:34 ish pace overall - not a great run

legs tired, knee hurt, and I felt generally mopey -- lazy me, I skipped 

 I guess I better get this out of my system before I start my official training for Chickamauga

heat rising - but not too bad
stayed in the shade as much as possible

ran over to the start of the 5k I'm going to do next month and then ran that route to get a feel for it again.  It is very racable.  There are only two hills on the out and two on the way back.  None of them are as significant as the ones in the race last Saturday. 

finished strong - so that was good.  It was actually the best I've finished a run in a while...

13.15 miles 7:37 ave pace

didn't hit 50 this week cause I skipped yesterday :(
