Got up late, so had to make it a quick (short) run.  I haven't downloaded my watch to the computer yet, so don't know all the splits and things.  Legs were heavy today.  Pain on the achilles from the mileage last week is zero.  Yeah!  So, game plan for this week is to bump the week miles up to something like 35.  Will try and keep the miles flat and build strength in the achilles.

From memory, splits today were something like 7:45, 7:15, 7:25

Plan was to run 6, as I got out I thought I would add a side street or two in, and if that took me up to 7 that would be fine.  Ended with only .5 additional.  Thats ok.  For some reason my legs were beat. 

Yesterday I was feeling YUCK.  I was trying to explain to Kelly that it felt like I was in that training/racing "puke zone".  ALL day.  Well, last night Kelly ask me if I was taking and how it was working some medicine that she said would help me sleep deeper.  She has been giving me "Melatonin".  A few days ago I commented that I sleep really light.  I can fall back asleep, but most of the time little noises wake me.  Provides for not the greatest sleep.  So she has had me try melatonin.  Last night I looked it up on the internet and one of the side effects is nausea.  So, I wonder if I've got some bug or just that side effect.  I'll experiment with the melatonin and see what is going on.

So, legs felt very tired today, had to fight my mind to run.  Still had an ok overall pace.

Have a wonderful day!

Woke up a little late, was considering bagging the run.  Decided I should get out and run what I can.  Had enough time for 3 miles so I took that.  Turned out it was a good run.

7:45, 6:50, 7:13  ==> AP of 7:16

Have a great day!

Needed to run my "long run" today, I'm going up to Logan to support Kelly on a bike ride tomorrow.  I was going for 13, but pooped out.  I got out late and the temp was high, and the humidity was even higher.  My energy was just zapped, and I struggled mentally through the last 3.5 miles.  Feel a little bad about not getting to 13, but not bad enough to go run around the block a couple times.  BUT I did think about that!

Averaged 7:57 pace.

Have a great weekend!

Was up in Logan supporting Kelly on her bike ride.  She rode 110 miles.  I don't think I could make it 20.  Wow.

While I was waiting for Kelly and her friend to get to the lunch stop I got a run in.  Ran up this one road that when I got up there about 2 miles I came across a sign that read "Welcome to Idaho."  Yeah, ran from Utah to Idaho.  :-)  Then I ran back to Utah.  Wow, running from one state to another.

Well, 7 miles the day after I felt like garbage on 13.  I was feeling good.  No pain on the achilles. Here are my splits.

7:38, 7:25, 7:36, 7:22, 7:24, 7:29, 7:23

Have a great weekend.
