Noon run, light rain, temp 52'

The first 3 miles my legs/hips were complaining a bit.  I guess to much running lately.  Anyway I decided to run a faster mile in about 6:30 to losen them up but part way into the faster mile I decide to lower the time to 6:15, and then I decided 6:10 and with about a quarter mile left I decided to see if I could get down to 6 even.  I almost did with a 6:01. 

About a mile after the fast mile my left quad started tightening up.  This has happened a few times this year.  I took a two minute streching break and then continued.  I started to feel the complaining legs again before I finished. 

Time 60:26,  Mile avg. - 7:17

Morning run, windy, temp 48'

Last night Dallas informed me that he wanted to see how fast he could run a mile so we decided to run it at the Bingham High track.  We were doing a few easy laps to warm up at about a 8:45 pace and after 1.5 laps he got a side ache.  What the heck?  The last time I ran with him he got a side ache.  I'm wondering if he is alergic to me.  He walked for awhile, we did some strides and lined up for the mile.  It took about one lap and the side ache was back.  I kept going.  I wanted to do sub 5:30 which is the time you have to get to make the Bingham High track team.  After 3 laps I was at a 5:32 pace and I thought I would easily be able to kick it in and go sub 5:30,  With about 3/4 of a lap to go I tried to increase my speed but those faster gears that never get used must be way rusty cause I couldn't shift.  I ended up getting a 5:33. 

We drove home and tried to do an easy two mile run but Dallas got a side ache after only a few hundred yards.  We gave up and came home.

Did 10.1 solo and then got Dallas and did 1.75.  At least he didn't get a side ache.

My hips were feeling worn out by the time I made it home.  I'm sure my body would appreciate it if I ran easy every other day instead of always pushing it but I enjoy going at the faster pace every day.  If I was more worried about getting faster rather than enjoying my runs I'm sure I'd train different. 

I turned 46 this week and I ran 46 miles this week.  Not quite as impressive as Walters 40 miles on his 40th birthday.
