I am going to give my leg another day off, it seems to be getting worse so I'm going to take an extra day off. Such is my life! I'm so tired of being injured in some form or another! Very frustrating!

I ran out Past Mini Gu and then almost to Gu but turned back about half way to Gu, leg felt a little better today but I still have no zip in the old legs my pace right now is a good minute off my usual training pace so I don't know what's going on there... My average pace 9:13 with a total time of 1:06:16. I am offically 20 pounds heavier than I was in 2008-2009 I really need to get to eating better and seeing if its possible to get back down to 160 or so, right now I am 180 dripping wet and that is not good!

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the Payson Park Loop today but I cut out the rollers, legs are still very dead and I had a hard time mustering a 8:50 pace but I did my best. Average pace was 8:53 with a total time of 55:21 I did some upper body weight training and then finished up with some push-ups. I really don't know what is up with my pace but I just can't seem to get my legs to go, they feel like heavy logs of cement and its not real fun, I hope this will eventually get better.

See ya tomorrow.

I ran the pretty little hill loop this morning, leg seemed okay once I was able to get loosened up but my legs overall just feel like crap, no zip at all and like today I couldn't have gone any farther than I did cuz they just get really tired... My pace was way, way slow at 9:26 with a total time of 49:37, I just don't know what to think. I know I missed some time running but I shouldn't be feeling like this, oh well I will just keep at it and hope for the best.

See ya tomorrow.

Really feeling horrible. No running today either. It was time for me to be sick I guess, I haven't been sick for a long time so I guess its my turn!

 

later.
