| | 4 warmish miles at noon from the Y. Forgot a headband, lots of eye sweat. Legs were dead, a product of more miles last week than in a while, and a busy weekend.

| | I intended to do 8 but my legs weren't having it. Nearly turned around at mile 1 but kept going. I need more rest and sleep to do 8 tomorrow.

| | Double fail today. Set my alarm for 5:30 to get up and do 8, but when the alarm went off my body and mind screamed "No!" and I listened and slept until 7. Hit the Y at Noon, intending to do 6, but at mile 2 my lower back spasmed so I walked a bit, stretched, ran a bit, walked, stretched, and finally got the back feeling well enough to return home, but slower than I began. Need to go to the chiropractor.
In other news, I learned this morning that I got in to the St George Marathon and I'm stoked. Finally something to look forward to. Flights are booked, mom knows we're coming, now I just need to get in shape again.

| | I cannot wake up this week. Not sure if I'm just being a wuss, or what, but I tried to get up at 5:30 and do 8 but I could not get myself to even think about rolling out of bed. So weird. I'm getting old. Thankfully no lunch meetings, so... 6.5 at lunch, ran up to the rims (really tough up), along the rims for a mile or so, and back. I thought about doing 8 but with it being lunch time I wondered, then while plodding along at a turtle's pace I realized I need to save some gas for tomorrow.
This getting in shape thing is going to be tough. Only 18 weeks until the marathon, that's not very much time. Woulda coulda shoulda. Oh well, I'll do what I can.

| | I had an all morning commitment so I planned to arise at 5 am, run as far as possible, return at 7:45, and be off. Granted, I got to bed late, after 11, but when my alarm hit it was like a 600 lb man was sitting on me. I actually got out of bed and sat on the john for a while like normal early morning routine, but after a few minutes I knew I'd be useless on the run and the rest of the day so I went back to bed until 7:45. Even more frustrating is that I was exhausted by 6 pm and could've gone to bed. What in the world? Last year at this time I was running 4+ hours on Saturdays.
