Ran on  the tm this afternoon. Some marathon pace miles with some hill work thrown in there at random. Life is good!

It was a nice day outside so what did I do......???? Fell asleep after work and had to run on the treadmill. House was too quiet! Couldn't help myself. Easy miles and looking forward to the long run tomorrow.

Up at 5am to get this run out of the way. I have a full day of garb that needs my attention. I am not going to bore my fellow bloggers on the particulars, but lets just say a very busy day! Nothing special about this run...... just a nice easy long run.

I mixed things up this week. I ran my long run on Friday. ( I usually run it on Saturday ) So with my legs a bit on the fatigue side I ventured out this afternoon on a sunny clear cool day. 1 mile to loosen up a bit and then ran some mpm. My legs are tired but I still finished ok. This was one of those workouts were you felt like you put something in the training bank. Hope to make some more deposits in the future. Overall a good week considering that I missed Mondays run.

Late run this evening on the tm. 1 mile warmup followed by 8@7:40 and then half mile cool down. Good run overall. Need to do some mile repeats sometime soon.

Another late night run due to church obligations and a test that I passed but failed???? How do you do that??? I scored much lower on the test than I should have and yet passed with a B.....Back to the run. Easy miles on the tm with nothing special only that I feel pretty good right now. I have Thurs, Fri, and Sat off so I should get some good miles in the rest of the week.

I'm sick of running in the evening! Started out doing hill repeats but bombed a quarter of the way through. No energy this evening at all.

Another crappy run this morning. No energy and legs feel dead! I'll do a short run tomorrow and call it a week and see what happens monday. 9.41 @ snail pace......Hope these last three runs have been for some good??? I sure as heck don't think so at the moment.

Up early and down stairs on the tm. I have a full day so I needed to get this run out of the way. The past four days have been a challenge. Todays run was a bit better than yesterday......but not much. Hopefully a day of rest tomorrow will help next weeks training.

Decided to go in and see what is going on with my neck and arm. My left arm has been hurting and goes numb once in a while. I have a slipped disk in my spine that is pinching a nerve that runs along the back and to the arm. Typically it shows up as neck pain. Hoping to recover quickly from this and get back to running. I fell asleep in a meeting and my head was just dangling straight down and I think that aggravated it some. I had been feeling like it was on the brink of something for a couple of weeks now, but only recently did it do my in. Ice and naproxen  have been my diet as of late.

It's been a few days!!! I had a migraine on Monday that turned into something strange Tue and Wed. Neck and upper back muscles were strained or something. I couldn't do much of anything the last couple of days. Its was good to get out this morning for a short run. Temps were on the cool side and just a slight breeze may it cold!

I'm thinking that the headache was stressed related and so was the strain in the neck and upper back. I tend to be pretty easy going but had some issues this past weekend that may have put me over the edge. So glad for running. Did some weight training after my run today and that felt great. I need to be more engaged in the whole body workout thing.

Had a rough week....if the muscle strain and headache weren't enough....Friday and Saturday had a fever of 102 and it got to the point that the tips of my hair ached! Forced myself to attend church and suffered through my normal day there. Hoping that tomorrow is a better day. Sleep has not come easy and the cold medication has just made me lucid so I can't think straight. Fevers gone and hope that it doesn't come back. Hope to be blogging of runs and adventures this next week.

One step forward and three back. I feel worse today than I did yesterday. I don't want to go to the doc but I might have to make a trip. I am not getting well at all. I don't miss work very often.
