April 18

Run
  • 43m 34s
  • 6.12 miles
  • 07m 07s /Mi

No easy run here. The legs felt heavy and I almost had to make a conscious effort to pick my feet off the ground on each step. It didn't help that on the way back I was fighting a bit of a head wind. How I managed respectable mile splits - I don't know. I felt very slow.

April 17

Run
  • 38m 12s
  • 4.00 miles
  • 09m 33s /Mi

My wife was headed out the door for evening run when I got home from work. However, our very verbal toddler suggested that she and daddy run too. So we loaded her up into the Bob stroller and we took off for a 4 mile run. Great evening to be outside. I am however a little out of shape with my stroller pushing muscles.

Bike
  • 1h 02m 38s
  • 20.00 miles
  • 19.16 Mi/hr

Continuing from yesterday, my daughter would not go to sleep. Took me a solid hour to get her down, which delayed this little bike trainer session.

April 16

Run
  • 39m 48s
  • 5.44 miles
  • 07m 19s /Mi

Started this about a half hour later than I intended. My daughter was having trouble going down to bed so that delayed me. As a results I ended up running a little shorter route than originally planned. In fact, I actually got lost on my run. Mostly due to running around some neighborhood streets in the dark and running in a giant circle. My face palm moment came when I saw a landmark I had ran by already. I felt much better than yesterday, or even this morning. I guess sitting at a desk for 9 hours all day gave my legs some extra rest.

I did this one on the trainer and I cut it way short of what I planned to do. My legs, and my body just feel flat out exhausted from the moment I woke up today. After the rain moved through this morning it cleared up, but the winds were howling with 40 mph wind gusts. So I decided to try the trainer and just last as long as I could. I knew right away that it wasn't going to be long, but I tried to make it for at least an hour and to put some quality into it instead of just junk miles/time. By time I did get done I was so uncomfortable in the saddle I couldn't stand it.

I'm hoping the rest of the week improves because I'm feeling run down right now.

April 14

Run
  • 1h 21m 07s
  • 11.07 miles
  • 07m 19s /Mi

Sunday's weather was calling for an 80% of rain. So in planning my weekend I decided that I would rather run my long run today outside instead of tomorrow on the treadmill. I can at least tolerate a long bike on the trainer tomorrow.

This run wasn't easy. My legs felt heavy and were still tight from the track workout on Wednesday. It was also extremely humid, so that didn't help things.
