Wow, so it's Monday and I am just now posting my Saturday run. Maybe it is because I was trying to put it as far out of my mind as possible? Someone please tell me that my struggles with running lately are due to the "Marathon Recovery". I do not mean to sound so negative and pathetic, but I am just really struggling lately. It may also have to do with my choice of route on Saturday but still, I just couldn't seem to get it together. So again, is this just because my body is still in recovery?

In any event, Tyler was out of town so I got a sitter and went out on my own for what was supposed to be just a quick 10k. In all actuality I make it sound far worse then it was, although the first 3 1/2 miles were purely painful, I seemed to pick it up at the end and when all was said and done averaged a 8:41 pace (taking into consideration the 10:16 pace up hill and the 7:45 pace down hill :)). It was very good to get out and enjoy this AMAZING weather that we are having. And, it just felt nice to know that I had actually ran at all. I am looking forward to this week to get some more days in and to hopefully, help regulate my body and regain my past running abilities, he he!! I hope that you all have a great Monday!!
