Another painful day with Mike. Not feeling very well at all this morning. I was glad to get out. I am not use to running in the morning, but I know it is something I got to start doing because it is getting hot down here in Dixie. I was really tight this entire run then around mile 6 I had to stop and stretch. Then around Mile 8.5 my body simply said you’re done. I could hardly walk! Mike Ran back to the truck and came back to pick me up. I did not eat very well yesterday. Not sure what is going on. I think it will take me a week to get back into my routine. Plus I got to get use to running in the morning again.

Your report today, sounds more like me stopping to stretch and having to walk. Give it a few days and you should bounce back. I'm feeling terrible with allergies and when did the weather decide to just turn right into summer. I would still prefer the mid 70's. 90 yesterday was a little warm for April.

I hope so Dustin. It is no fun to run in pain.

Good to hear you back at it Bull. I've been meaning to have a talk with you about pace on regular training runs.... It's important so take it easy (no faster than 8-7:30 pace on all of your runs unless you plan a specific speed workout). I'll tell you more in person but I really think your body will respond better to something like this.

But that is so stinking slow! :) :) I wi fall asleep if i don't get my heart rate above 47. I think you are right Clyde. I will work on it. I am sure the peope i run with will appreciate if i take your adise to.

Great point Clyde! I have been struggling with pace. Salt Lake taught me a valuable lesson....don't go out too fast. I felt great with the pace and didn't feel like I was pushing it...I was.

My training most of the time is the same way. I need to slow down and allow the body to get in a flow, enjoy it more.

Bill, great to see you are running again! Come back slow and strong!

Bull, thanks for the run today hope your feeling a little better. I ran in pain for the last year and a half no fun! I know you guys have a ton more knowledge and experience than me, but I do agree with Clyde. I have been back for a little over a month now, only ran fast twice really building a base this time. I feel so much better and to be honest with you, the fast runs I did do were awesome. My body was rested and I was very surprised about the pace I was able to hold. I guess for me, if I race everyday I cant race on race day.

Anyway, you are one awesome, fast, beast of a runner! Just stay healthy and your PRs will fall just like you did last time we ran LOL!

I'll second Clyde's comments. Make your easy days easy and your hard days hard. Most of my runs are right around 7:30 to 8:00 min pace average. Only on tempo runs and interval repeats do I really drop the pace. Just listen your body and not feel like you have to hit a certain mileage each week. I know that is something I've struggled with in the past.

Thank you for all your advice. I will keep it down. And just plan on speed on a couple days a week.

Bill, you rock. No advice, just hope to see you at the club run on Thursday!
