I did get my run in this morning, but I really did not want to go at all. It was like my legs and feet were complaining at me. It was warm this morning even at 7am, and I know that the warm weather was partially the reason why I struggled to run, but I'm not sure if the warm weather was entirely to blame. I felt totally fine on Friday morning.

I'm really not looking forward to summer and hot weather. The only thing I look forward to for the summer is getting a bike ride at 6am. I like to run in cold weather, but hate running in warm or hot weather. I don't like to ride a bike in cold or hot weather, but will ride in warm weather around 70-something degrees.

Week 9: Day 5 - 2015

• easy trail RUN with one dog = 3.15 miles, time = 37:08, pace @ 11:57
• easy walk with two dogs = 2.3 miles

Warmer weather is finally here and I don't like it one bit!! I'm going to start complaining a lot about summer and hot weather. Good thing I don't have any races coming up anytime soon.

Week 9: Day 3 - 2015

• easy RUN with one dog = 2.5 miles
• easy WALK with two dogs = 2 miles 

This time change is messing me and I seem more tired since we had to change the clocks one hour ahead. Good thing I didn't have a race on Sunday, immediately after changing the time. I actually forgot that we had to change the time by 2am. I also would have been very, very tired!

I didn't do a run yesterday morning like I wanted to. I had to be at work by 8am. It didn't get light out until around 7am. I don't like running in the dark and if I didn't get a run in the morning, I would never do it later (I will make up every excuse not to run). Hopefully, my work schedule is a little better next week so I can get a run in on Tuesday morning (before work) if possible. Yesterday's early start was due to a "corporate" situation.....

Week 8: Day 2 - 2015

• easy RUN with one dog = 2.04 miles, time = 23:08, pace @ 11:20
• easy WALK with two dogs = 1.65 miles

I know I said that I would take a break from running. I'm now officially on break. I wanted to get a short, easy recovery in this morning. I wanted to run in my new shoes. It actually really nice to run in new shoes. My now old shoes needed to be retired from all the training that I did between the half marathon and the 10K run.

Now I'm deciding if I want my next run on Sunday or next Tuesday.
