Some people do it better in the dark.  But i got to tell you i have to see what is in  front of me before I Trip!  I Got up at 5:45 AM and Did some speed work at the track.  Met up with Kristy and Dawson.   After  a decent warm up,  We ran 5 x 800.    Still feeling slow and sluggish.  I feel i am putting in the effort but my speed has split town.  I run like a man that wants to get cought?  My splits were like 3:19.  I felt pretty sore the last 800.

Bull - what's up. As your personal physician, here is what I prescribe for your winter running. Miles, Miles, and more Miles. Don't worry about any speed (when you get the urge, go to a park and run barefoot striders). But a large dosing of mileage this winter will do you wonders; and bring back the Bull in you!

Bull - I agree with Dave. Bumping up your miles will do you good instead of the speed work right now. You can do the speed work later after you don't feel so tired on your regular runs. Stay positive and upbeat though.

Bill, when I read your entry (after several previous ones), I thought, "why in the world is he doing speedwork after not feeling good, injuries, after the marathon", etc. Then I saw Dave's and Logan's comments. So I'm not the only one :). Just run comfortably now, whatever the pace is, and enjoy your runs. If your body is healed, you'll start feeling better soon, if not, all the more reasons to run easy until you recover fully. Strides are a great way to keep your leg turnover up, and that's all the speedwork you need now. Good luck!!

Where's the beef? This blog is missing one rambunctious wild-running bull. Hope you are okay!

I have to agree with Lybi, we have missed all you snide and funny comments!

Better get back to blogging wildbull. Are you doing the half marathon this Saturday? Steve got me signed up, but I'm not in any kind of shape to race, I'll probably just try to see if I can finish.
