Met Mike, Bruce and the Wildbull at the Running store this morning. I had a very rough start getting going. Super fatigued and felt like my legs were full of lead. I have had a bad sore throat for over a week now and I dont know if that is making me so stinkin tired lately. Bill dragged me along to add three more so I could get 10 in today. So nice to have people to run with!

A couple on my own and couple with Peg and Heidi. Felt better today. no watch

*side note on sat my hubby and I went to the running store and steve helped him pick out some running shoes. So maybe I can drag him out a couple nights a week for some easy miles. He says he only plans on running quarterly!

Met up with Bill for a good run. Nice to get a change of scenery and run a different course. Felt better today than monday. (I had an appt for sat with april but moved it to today after work.) Very tight to start, loosened up and then started to tighten again around mile 7. I feel like I am dragging my right leg along. I hope we can get it worked out today so that I will be ready for Bryce next week and feel like i can get some speed on it.

Last night Garrett and I went out for his first run. Did a 2.5 mi loop. Ran a mile then walked 1/2mi, ran 1/2mi, walked 1/2 mi and then finished up with running. He did awesome for his first run, we kept the pace really easy. Defintely warmer at night!

Saw April yesterday and she told me I could run today but keep it very easy. Overall my quad feels tons better but could tell I had been worked on. If I am feeling good tonight I might try for a couple more miles.

I am a loser! First I was going to meet Mike to run and then some friends that I have not ran with for awhile called and wanted me to come run 14 with them over in the fields he was nice and told me to go with them. Well then I totally bailed on them too! I was glued to my bed and slept for 2 more hours and got up and ran own. Company is so much better and I missed out on it because I was to tired to get up. Sorry guys! But that extra sleep did feel so good! Took it very easy today. My quad feels tons better but my calf is still alittle balled up, doesnt hurt running but after it tightens up pretty good, been stretching ALOT! With Bryce coming up and my leg not feeling 100%, Its starting to get to my head and getting a little worked up about it.

Decided to take it easier today so I went with my tues/thurs group for a long run. Ran down the marathon course 13 and then I added an extra mile. Took it easy for most of it and then I wanted to get a little faster turn over on my legs and see how I felt so I took off the last 3 6:42, 6:50, 6:38. My leg felt very good today and my calf has not tightned up like it has been doing after the run. Very muggy today! yuck.. I stopped into a gas station to use the bathroom and I had about 20 black knats all over my face and neck..so gross!
