Clyde's Comeback!

Did the river loop this morning. It was pretty chilly for May (49F) is really cool. But it actually felt nice and fresh. My legs didn't. They were pretty sore so the pace was slow and I tried to work things out. Even the arch of my feet were a little sore and I had to do toe curls to help the feet work through that. Anyways made it back and finally started to move along by the time I finished. Not as sore as after a marathon but maybe as sore as I've ever been after a workout. 

10 miles this evening. Although the legs are kind of sore this turned out to be a really good run. My form was nsync and working very efficiently. The weather is just amazing with a high of like 75??? It could easily be over a 100 by now so I feel very blessed.  

12.2 miles this morning over to the DC and back with Logan. Cool again and at times I wished I'd had some gloves on. But a beautiful morning with no wind and blue skies. Pace was consistent... meaning we never went too fast but never slacked off either. I'm guessing we owned the 7 min guy by the end of the run. My quads are still pretty sore and by the time we go back to my house we both were ready to be done. Hoping the legs will loosen up as the day rolls out. 

Pushed Myler around the B-hills loop this morning. Another great morning with just super temps. This run was a lot harder than it should have been. My quads are still acting like they all sore and stuff. Plus I'm just generally fatigued. I took last night off from running to try and get some rest. I just didn't sleep good at all Sunday or Monday night and that got me trashed out for the following days. But it's all good and will help me keep the miles down as I really only want around 80 this week... but will most likely hit 90+ still. 

8.1 miles this afternoon around the river loop. It was hot and I really struggled. My quads are even more sore... kind of deep down. So it really messes with the stride making the effort far greater. I was dehydrated too and when I got home my wife said my face looked all grey and sunken in. Blah! I hope for a good nights rest and some good food and drink to get the body back.   

10 miles around B-hills and some extra with Logan this morning. I got crap for sleep last night but this run still was leaps and bounds better than last night. We were sub 7 min pace for the whole run and at times I just wanted to relax but Logan kept pushing it. The morning was beautiful but much warmer than it has been. I had to take the shirt off after one mile and Logan was  sweaty mess. 

10.5 miles tonight with the running club. I went over thinking 8 would be plenty and then Steven said this run would be 9 and I was like ok... and then it turned out to be 10.5 so I was so ready to be done. Pace was conversational but steady. There was a nice breeze that kept it from being too hot which was very nice.  

Got up and the whole family went out. Me running, and Mik'L riding her bike pulling the kid trailer with Myler and the dogs along. We did the basic B-hills loop. It was kind of windy which bothered me running and Mik'l riding. Finished up and then it calmed down... Anyways this will wrap it up for me today as I at the mileage needed and then some. So I'll enjoy the rest of the day and get ready for a 20 miler tomorrow.  

20 miles this morning with the club out at the Little Black Mt. First lap was pretty slow... well really slow as we just chit chatted along to hit 10 miles in 1:20. Then on the second lap we didn't ever really start hammering it but finished in 1:13 (Dave and I). Steve took off with about 5 miles to go then Logan went to get him and eventually James decided to go too. So Dave and I brought up the rear. Good run. I always love running out there and today the temps were fairytale for this time of year.
