I felt liek crap the whole way and my legs were toast and tired the entire distance, I'm wondering how thw heck I am going to run SGM in a month. My average pace was so slow at 9:37 with a total time of  2:25:12, so thats about a minute thirty slower than just what my training pace usually is. Frustrated.

See you Monday.

I ran out past Mini Gu and then extended a little further but my wheels are still struggling and they feel like a couple of cement pillars that I'm dragging along... Oh well at least I was able to get out and run. My average pace was slow at 9:00 with a total time of 1:04:32, I finished up with some upper body weight training and some push-ups. Its a good start to the week.

See you tomorrow.

I ran some hills ths morning. I ran up Mount Loafer road, up to the mailboxes over to the top of Harrys Hill and then down that and then back to the house via canal road. I felt okay on the uphill but as soon as I hit the downhill my legs just blew up on me and then it was a death march again. I felt horrible towards the end and my pace was way slow especially down Harry's Hill it was only an 8:27 mile... I'm ususally in the 7:20 range. My average pace was 9:22 with a total time of 1:06:44, I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push-ups. Not a feel good type of run and I felt pretty unproductive.

See you tomorrow.

I had 12.25 miles that were MP miles and the rest were just easy. My average pace was 8:24 with a total time of 2:24:55. It was a great way to end the week.
