I am a former runner who took the sport back up about 3 1/2 years ago. In the preceeding 20+ years I was a 2 pack a day smoker and the only excercise I recieved was summer softball. Needless to say; it was time for a change.

5 miles at 7:50 pace. Today was the first day since my race that I've actualy wanted to go out and run. It felt great.

Legs were heavy today.  Was supposed to do 10 but cut it short.  Hopefully I can string a couple of good days together now.  I'm just not excited about running right now.

The running felt O.K. today. It was the feeling of wanting to get it over with that was bothering. I usualy love to be out there running but of late it's like- Let's get this over with. I suppose it's still the hang-over from my race. That's the biggest problem with these longer distances, it takes a while to recover mentaly. Looking forwards to a nice 5K.
