Grapevine. Ran from the gas station to the freeway cut twice for a couple extra miles. Pretty tired during the whole run. Felt a touch better after 4 but still pretty slow overall.
Another wonderful tempo Tuesday. I had no plans for today as the legs still feel really tired just walking around let alone running. Nice 3 mile warmup then off we went for 9 tempo miles. Ran the first couple with Dustin and then alone for the rest of the run. Hit most a little faster than tempo but also had a few that where below so I guess it evens out close to what I should be doing. I have found that I run fairly consistant without checking my watch (and also run crappy when I am constatly checking it to try and be consistant). I wouldnt even wear it but I like stats and such so its fun to have all that info for afterwards. Considering how I felt before, durning and after the run it worked out to be a good run.
6 - Slacked off and didnt run yesterday but I dont feel bad about it. This mornings run was so much better for it. The legs felt fresh and I wasnt struggling at all.
7.5 - Bloomington loop with Dave and a couple of the XC boys. Not a bad run.

2 mile warm up with Dave which was pretty taxing so I knew this wasnt going to be much of a race for me. The way out wasnt too bad and I thought that the Circle was going to race but when I caught up to them I knew they where just messing around. I kept trying to go but I was done. The way back was horrible and had a bad headwind and they just pulled away with each mile. This was way worse than I remember from last year. Checked the splits against last year and I did hit some of the downhills much faster this year but most of the uphill was slower some miles way slower. Did get some rain which was nice to run in for a few minutes.
