4 miles in a warm South breeze this morning. Wanted to go 6 but my legs just didn't have it.

I missed out on a run on Saturday as it was just too busy. I really hope I can get on a long run this coming weekend.

Boot Camp at Noon. I'm still tired from doing 3 BC sessions last week, but I'm a glutton for punishment. Aren't we all?

Argh. Didn't wake up in time for a run before an 8 am meeting, then didn't get to the gym in time to be back for a 1 pm meeting, and busy busy in the evening so no run. Bah.

Had my alarm set for 5:30 to run before an early appointment, but that didn't happen. Bah.

Hit the gym at Noon for Boot Camp and halfway through one of the exercises tweaked my lower back, so I shut it down. It's not bad, but I knew I needed to quit before it got worse. We'll see how it feels tomorrow morning. Need some running to scratch this itch.

Lately morning and I have not been friends. I set my alarm at 5:30 to get up and do 6 before taking my oldest to the bus, but 5:15 rolled around and I felt tired so I turned off the alarm. Thankfully I was able to run at lunch time. Fairly warm, 83 degrees, but not horrible. I intended to run this a bit slow, maybe a 9 minute pace, and the first mile I obliged. I felt pretty rough the first 1/2 mile as I realize just how much fitness I've lost this past month of limited runs. After a mile I warmed up and the last 4 miles I kept a steady pace. It felt good and I was glad I could muster up a bit of decent speed for longer than a few miles.

AP: 8:06. Paces 9:01, 8:17, 7:59, 7:57, 7:47, 7:34.

Finally beat the alarm bug and woke up at 5:30 and got out the door shortly thereafter. Not soon enough to do 6, but I did 5.5 instead. Good run, legs felt good, much faster up the hills than normal.

AP: 8:11

Got out the door early enough for my first double digit run since DesNews. Wow. Went up my Veyo hill and never pushed the pace but felt very comfortable trucking along. AP 8:37 (I think)

Got home, went to a JV soccer game, then went camping to our favorite place on Earth, Woodbine campground.
