Second Wind

Rest.

Temps were much more comfortable today back in Vegas at around 48.  Had to really fight the demons this morning to get out of bed and out the door.  I really need to get in a routine for the next few weeks in gearing up for Painters.  I would like to PR this year on the new course but as is usually the case I end up a bit stale and out of shape coming off the holidays.  Hopefully this year it will be different.

Time:  50:29  8:25/mile

Cool and breezy today but temps are still warmer than normal for this time of year.  I am still in shorts and a long sleeve shirt with gloves and really enjoy not carrying around all the extra cloths.  Ran with Meg for about half the distance today and then finished up solo.

Time:  50:44  8:27/mile

Temps are getting cooler and by tomorrow they could reach freezing so I guess the days of running in shorts are going to become more sparse.  Still a nice morning for a run with a huge bright full moon setting in the west.  Other than that it was the standard easy 6 miler.

Time:  50:23  8:24/mile

Felt kinda tight this morning.  Felt like I was running faster but it felt like a major struggle to keep a slightly faster pace than I have been running all week.  Not sure what caused the distress but I hope it passes soon.  Nothing else too exciting, 42 degrees and supposed to be in the 30s tomorrow.....oh gooody!

Time:  50:05  8:21/mile

I think I know why I was tight yesterday, I am coming down with a cold today.  I decided not to run since the temp was in the mid 30s and I spent most of the night not sleeping well and feeling kinda crappy.  Hopefully it will pass quickly so I can get back at it.
