February 24, 2014

Dawn Patrol.  Back in the game after another week laid low.  Pun intended.  Threw out my back lifting weights last Tuesday morning, February 18, 2014.  Took the week off after suffering excruciating pain and suffering, mostly at night, for most of last week.  It was brutal.  Absolutely brutal.  February, as it turns out, has been a lame ass month of running for this author.  42 miles on but six runs.  Injuries and illness.  I will not dwell on this fact or let it affect my training moving forward.  My goals have not changed.  This morning's run was a standard five and change, per custom.  Out the door at the appointed time for a solid campus loop. Completed the 5.03 mile run in 47:25 for a 9:25 min/mile pace. It felt good getting back on the trail.  Old School Punk on the box. Tuesday back at the gym.  A planned 6-5-13 for the remainder of the week.  Bring on the noise.
