Morning run, Temp 67'

My last few runs haven't been to hard so I thought I'd push the pace a little today.  I felt good but not great.  I did a few strides to remind my legs that they can go fast. 

My tendon-bum-itis has been acting up the last couple of weeks.  Hopefully, I can take a little better care of it and it will go away.

Noon run, windy, sunny, temp 87'

I felt good the first few miles.  I felt like I was strong and could just keep on going but around mile 4 or 5 it started getting a little harder and it started feeling more like work than fun.

I was planning on doing a 3 mile tempo run this morning but I got to bed to late and needed my beauty sleep so I ran it at lunch time in the heat.  I ran a mile at about 8:00 minute pace and then I ran a mile in 5:59 with a 3 minute jog break before the next mile in 5:58 with a 45 second job break then a 5:49 mile.  The third fast mile took a lot of mental effort to keep up the pace.  The last couple of miles were about 8 minute pace.

I played chruch basketball last night for an hour and a half.  I knew playing basketball and yesterdays hard workout  would effect todays run so I made today an easy day.  After 9.5 miles I could see that if I hussled I could get all my miles under 8 minute miles so I picked up the pace and just squeaked under 8's

Morning run, breezy, temp 67'

Yesterday my throat felt a little funny and I suspected I was catching a cold my wife and 2 youngest have but this morning I was certain I caught it.  My throat was dry and my nose was clogged.  I considered sleeping in but I didn't want Tom to let me have it for whipping out so I ran an easy run.  I also ran easy because my legs were dead from the last couple of days of abuse.

Hopefully, my legs will come back to life for tomorrows jog.

Morning jog, sunny, breezy, Temp 65-70'

I did my out and back toward Copperton.  I still have a very whippy cold but it doesn't seem to be effecting my running except that my throat gets a little dry.  My legs felt much better than yesterday so I had a good run.  I didn't ever push it to hard because I was doing a long run and I new I was in for a big day of working in the yard. 

I did Honey-do's until 6PM.  I was beat, but my good wife made me a wonderful supper that almost made up for the abuse.  I drank a lot of water today as I was working outside most of the time.
