Afternoon run again today, for some reason I slept through my alarm. I tried the whole run to take it easy but I could feel I was breathing harder than normal so I would look down at my watch and realized I was going way to fast, so then I would back down some more but then day dream and lose track again. My average pace was 8:26 and my HR average was 156, way to high and working way to hard for an easy run, total time was 42:57. I had one mile that was at an 8:00 pace, so I will call that a marathon pace even though it wasn't. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes at a moderate to hard pace, RPM above 95 for most of the workout no resistance. I might run some hill repeats tomorrow again if I'm feeling like it but  I will have to see;-) I feel pretty good about the workout today, I finally feel like I am on the other side of this cold, knock on wood... I've been struggling with some things lately and  feeling a little down and feeling sorry for myself I need to pull my head out I know! Does anyone want to join in on my pity party, anyone can join, its free;-)

 

See ya tomorrow.

The best thing about pity parties is that you are never alone. Hope everything turns around for you.

Clay I'm thinking you're due for a long, glorious streak of good days in the coming weeks and months.

Hey also I was wondering if that was you that honked at me today during around noon-ish east of Novell just before the light at hw-89?

Ya know Tom It wasn't me, but I have been driving by before and seen you at there clipping along, just not that day.
