I ran out to the old BYU farm, out and back. I did a warm up mile and then my legs started to feel pretty good,  miles 3,4,5 felt pretty good but then something odd happened, I hit the wall... My legs totally shut down on me and it took everything that I had just to get back home. I have never understood this part of running, it wasn't like I was pushing the pace for those 3 miles I felt great but my pace was still easy, around a 8:50 mile... I ate pretty good yesterday, at least for me I did. So what gives here? I did do a stride on the last mile and that pace was around 8:30 mile but most of that was in the first half and then I cooled down for the last half mile, I will have to see how I feel for tomorrows run and see if my legs respond and bounce back! I felt like the stride woke my legs back up but I couldn't of held that pace for very long, just a really weird run today. It was cooler this morning and I had to pull my tights back out maybe that had something to do with it, I just don't know!

I also did the standard weight training on my legs 1 set of each exercise with high reps and then I also did my core strength training push-ups and then crunches on the rubber ball alternating between each set...

See ya tomorrow.
