On top of my daily wake up call from my daughter (around 5am) I got to wake up an hour early and go into work on short notice, it was a rough day and I ended up sleeping pretty much from the time I got home until I had to go to work at ICON again... soooo... no Gym, a lazy 195 on the equip at ICON.

Since it was snowing today Chris and myself did not go running outdoors.  Therefore I decided to push it a little at work.   21min running/jogging (1min 8mph/2min 6mph) in the first segment.  Second segment was 5min walking 5min running/jogging (2min 8mph/2.5min6mph/30sec 10mph). Third segment I had to work on one of the bikes so just a casual burner.

 145min total.

Ran it in 19:09.  I have decided that I'm just weak mentally and must push harder.

 I missed yesterday due to time... went straight from work to golfing, straight from there to the date night with the wife (Dark Knight = Best movie ever.... EVERRRR) didn't get home untill midnight and didn't run because I had to get some sleep before I went to work... yes I am disapointed that I missed my run.

Daily Routine -- 1mi....  Didn't finish the run, felt light headed, think I'm dehydrated, going to go for a walk with my daughter tonight, then I'll look at doing another couple miles.  I did bump up to the second week's routine even though I missed half the week last week.

Played basketball for 1.5hrs tonight.  came home and tried to get my daily routine in but I'm dead.  I pushed hard on my fast breaks tonight at the court trying to work on my sprinting.  I feel good but nooo energy.  I've managed 3 sets of 30 sit-ups though.  must get up in the morning.... no two ways about it.

Ok... so running in the morning... I felt like I was running on an empty tank of gas... nothing but fumes for some reason... is there something I need to do to have energy in the morning, maybe in my diet or do I just need to keep running in the morning and my body will take care of everything else?  I've been running late at night and I usually feel atleast 10X better.

 

Going to play basketball tonight, will most likely be 1.5hrs.

Total Distance

Daily Routine:  Felt good... last mile of the run was pretty slow though.

Getting a bit of pain just under my left knee.  Talked to Cody  and he thinks I just need to make sure I'm stretching good.  He also mentioned that "shin-splint" exercises might help.

Going to buy new shoes tonight I think, been using the same shoes since AIT.... 8yrs ago!  They've held up good but it's time to retire them finally.

 I'm kind of noticing that I feel better running at night.

 felt good, I'm not sure of the time, but it's a little slower than I would have liked.  the fact that it felt good is reassuring though, also I thought it was further until I googled it.  I'm starting to feel like I have energy again.
