I am also the proud daddy of five little ones. I love the opportunity that I have to be a daddy, and my challenge is to balance my family responsibilities with work and running. |

Easy run today. Nothing special happened. I decided to stop using the GPS watch that I was given about a month ago, and go back to a basic stopwatch. The HR data was useless, the GPS was too inaccurate (almost always off by at least 2% for the total distance run, and sometimes double that), the cadence would frequently drop when I would run harder/faster while giving me an inacurrate step count during daily activities, and even the time spent running couldn't be trusted because it would frequently change after the data was uploaded online (plus the lag at the start meant I couldn't actually start running when I pushed the start button, which was annoying). So, basically my $25 watch does a better job as a running watch (it at least gets the time right) then a dedicated running smartwatch that retails for approx $300.

I ran 1.5 miles hard in the middle of the run in 8:36ish. The goal was to run just slightly faster than 6:00 pace, but I got too excited and ended up pushing harder than I probably should have, as it was 86 degrees out and sunny with 62% humidity. I could tell that I was pushing too hard for the conditions when I started to feel like I wanted to slow down to a jog and I still had over a half mile left.
My legs felt kind of dead the last two miles to my house, which was not what I was shooting for. The goal for the fast section of the run was to run faster than normal but not have it be too taxing on my body as the short fast stuff recently has felt like like it has taken a toll on my recovery. Instead I feel like this workout may have had the opposite effect. Oh well, back to easy running for the rest of the week.
It is so much easier to train well when you are already in shape than it is to do so while getting back in shape after not running consistently for a few years.

I kept the run super easy today. It was mid 80's with high humidity just like yesterday, and my legs felt dead again.

My legs are starting to feel a little better and it is showing in that the effort for my run was no harder today than it was the last two days.

My legs are still feeling off. Today I felt achy, and my back felt stiff. At times I felt like I could run smoothly, and at other times I felt like my legs were kind of dead.
