Don't Sacrifice the Gift.

PM; Tready, 3.5-  just an easy run on the treadmill today.  I wasn't feeling like running in the heat this afternoon...  man is it hot!  overall felt pretty good.

PM: Tready, 5.5-  simple easy run today.  legs were feeling a little tired.  felt like stopping at 3 but decided that that wouldn't have been very productive for me.  after getting to about 4 miles or so, I started feeling a little better.  I noticed that my shins and calves are feeling a bit tight.  

PM: SunriseTire, 3.5-  Ran with the team during afternoon practice today.  Without a car anymore it has been difficult being able to make it to practice in the mornings and still make it to work on time.  once school starts it will help out with my schedule though.  anyway, I was wanting to do about 5 miles today, but my back hurt super bad.  I'm not sure what's up with it, probably slept on it funny.  So decided to take it back a little.

PM: Home, 4.75-  I decided to take the day off running yesterday in hopes of helping my back feel better.  It seemed to have worked.  Today I felt extremely better.  Since I no longer have a car of mine own, I have no way to get to work unless I am given a ride, bike, ... or I run.  I got a ride to work this morning and then ran home.  It was really hot but didn't actually seem too bad.  back is feeling better, legs are feeling better.  overall a good run.

AM: Work, 6.25- Ran to work this morning.  It started out great.  I was feeling really good and energetic, and then my bowels decided that they no longer wanted to feel good. I was able to get to a place to relieve mineself before an explosion happened.  Afterwards, I get to about 1 1/2 miles left when it starts to pour down rain like no tomorrow.  So when I get to work, I am soaked to the bone.  It felt really good actually.  Legs felt really strong this morning as well! Overall a great run!

PM: Home, 4.5-  Ran home from work again.  right from the get-go I knew this was going to be a long run.  It was hot and my legs were super tired.  But dispite this, I started off with a decent pace.  At about halfway home, I got really tired.  My body just seemed drained.  I'm not sure why.  I stopped to rest in the shade for a minute or two which helped me regain some energy.  I finished at a considerablly slower pace than when I had begun.  I am hoping it is just one of those beginning of the week slumps.
