Changed out of the monkey suit after getting home, gulped some water and hit the road for what turned out to be a 4.2m run.  30 minutes later I was in the neighborhood.  I think it calculated out to a 7:08 pace?

5.2m in 39:24.  Felt really comfortable this afternoon.  7:34 pace could've been faster but I don't want to get injured over my ego.  Really need to log the miles if I want to be a marathoner!

Went for a two miler after work 13:42.  Feeling a little soreness in the calves and around the MCL/inner knee area.  I've felt this before and last time it was even sore to touch the inside of the knee area.  Maybe I'm just getting old.... oh well, nothing more mileage won't clear up.

Warm out today.  6 miles - 43:57 - right about 7:20 pace.  Boy would I love to hold that for a 26.2.

I don't want to rest.... but they say it's important. 0 miles. 

This is me at the end of my last 5k race.  My wife must be proud that she married this racing Frankenstein.  I was told that extra nostril flare really helps in the final stretch.

This mornings plan was to get up early, go for a run, and avoid the 80+ temperatures predicted for today.  (Didn't happen)  I've been having major trouble getting up early enough to go for my planned morning runs.  No big deal, I'll just deal with the heat and log the intended miles this afternoon. 

Yesterdays run was a wet one..... afternoon downpours and puddle dodging made it interesting.  Another side effect to running in a soaked cotton t-shirt, found out this morning in the shower, was raw nipples.  Ouch!  I hope I don't look like a "steak-head" running shirtless this afternoon. 

 2 miles.... feeling the heat of the day and the pressure from  my loved ones to make it a quick run.  I WILL be up early tomorrow for redemption.

3.1 this morning.  My hips felt out of alignment and weak.... strange.  Oh well, the cool temps and lack of traffic made up for my jankety body.  I'll try for some more mileage this afternoon.

Felt great this morning!  7am and no sun with a slight cool breeze.  I didn't push the pace, but the run felt effortless.  Breathing was controlled and easy.  I love these days! 

7.2 miles - 54:30 - 7:34 pace

70 degrees @ 4:30am this morning.  Still humid as balls.... but bearable.  I ran 5.45 miles in 41:27 minutes which according to my pace calculator was a 7:36 pace.  I really would love to get myself a GPS watch to determine what my actual splits are.  The problem is that I still have to feed my 4 and 6yr old daughters.... I thought that this needing to eat phase would end by now.  Oh well, if any of you running fools out there can suggest a good bargain GPS watch I would appreciate it.

Not feeling good today at all.  1 mile 7 minutes.... then turned around and walked home.  Legs feeling jankety again with weakness in the hips.... WTF?
