Turn your rut into a groove.

pm--14 I was feeling pretty unmotivated when I got home, but I finally talked myself into a run. I intended on going anywhere from 3 to 8. That's what I told the wif. But, I just kept going and going, and, to the present, this is my longest run ever. 

pm--7 I wasn't feeling it today. My bowels were churning. My spirits were low. But I ended up lacing on the runners about 7:30 and headed out for an easy run. In the middle I felt pretty good, so I hit about a mile and a half at roughly 7:20 pace. I think I could push that for quite a while, hopefully 6.2 this Saturday.

pm--9.25 I ran a little lower graveyard/cholla loop w/ some exploration on the end and prepared for the Spectrum tomorrow in probably the best way possible--a 9 mile run and Marv's. My goal for the morning is under 50:00 and, ultimately, under 48:00. Good luck to the folks and the Panthers.

am--6.25 I woke up with tired legs, so I was a little nervous. The course is downhill at the beginning. I let it carry me to a pretty good pace. When mile 4 came around, I thought that I might as well keep it up. I'm really excited about my time. And it's awesome to see runners of all shapes and sizes and paces out there. Congratulations everybody.

pm--4 Talked my sister-in-law into running with me. She worked me. My body feels wasted, but I had to get 40 in this week.
