Finally I was able to get a run in and I didn't let the lazy demons talk me out of it, I felt pretty decent and I had really good flow in my legs through out the run. I ran out to Mini GU Corner via canal road, my average pace was 9:05 with a total time of 55:15. I had a way faster inward half of the run and my last mile was in the 8:30 range which is where I want my training runs to be as far as average pace is concerned. So all in all a pretty productive run and I was glad that I got out.

See Monday

This morning was a real eye opener to how far I have really fallen... Pace was so slow that I felt like I was walking. But, I have only myself to blame and this is a true wake up call to start to get back at it. We are going to Hawaii on June 19th with the kids and that is my goal date to be back to where I was pre St. George marathon, I will post everyday, every painful step and every stiff muscle along the way.  I hope I can do it and get it back, my average pace was 10:03 with a total time of 43:04.

See ya tomorrow.

My legs were to tired to run so I jumped on the elliptical for 40 minutes just so I felt like I did something. It sucks to be out of shape. Im glad I at least did something, its a step in the right direction.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran out to mini GU Corner via canal road this morning, I didn't feel really great but better than on Tuesday. My average pace was still real slow at 9:21 with a total time of 56:47, oh what I would give to be able to run  a training run in the 8:30 range again... Even though I wasn't able to run on Thursday I still feel like this is a better week for me, at least its a start.

See ya Monday.

It was another lazy week. I just couldn't get myself out there... But, I was able to get out the door this morning and so that is a positive, I felt a little better today, still not real fast but better. I ran out to Mini GU corner via canal road and then back to the house, I felt okay but on the last mile I started to have some stomach issues and barely made it home. My average pace was 8:53 with a total time of 53:21, I can live with that right now because its a long way to get back to where I was before, so I'll consider this a win!

See you Monday.

I'm just really struggling this year. No motivation and no desire... I really don't know how to get it back.

Later.
