Overall for the week I am getting really frustrated with my running and how my body is feeling. I don't feel that I am getting good recovery in and my body just aches in the morning when I wake up. I can hardly walk barefoot in the mornings, and it's not like I have been putting in any kind of major miles at all. I am hoping that it is just this heat that is bothering me too much, and hopefully is will subside here a least a little. The dog days of summer is upon us. So ready for Fall weather. I'm just struggling to survive on my runs. I need to focus because I have 3 training weeks and 1 down week until my next race which is only a half marathon.

6/24/12 - 6/30/12

Sun: 7 miles (Raisin Woods)
Time: 1.01.48, Avg. Pace: 8.50
-  My plan was to run slower than usual to see how the top of my foot reacts. To my surprise, I really didn't bother me at all with the exception of the normal aches and pains. However, even though I was tempted to pick the pace up I did not to play it say. I plan on "playing it safe" for the whole week, and then it will be time to pick it up and log in the miles once again! I really don't have a plan to how much mileage I will put in this week. I guess I will have to wait and see! It's an all week based on feel type of approach.

Mon: 5 miles (Cloudland Canyon)
Time: ?, Avg. Pace:  ?
- No running just hiking. At least I was still moving around. Had a friend text me today and we decided to head over to Cloudland Canyon State Park and hike around since we have no been there in a while. I was also in the hunt for some new trails to run. However, I would have to make a special trip since it's longer than just a short drive over there. Had a great time. Enjoy the pictures at the bottom. Mainly work my chacos then switched over to my minimus shoes due to the fact I was starting to get blisters.

Tues: 7 miles (Raisin Woods)
Time: 1.00.47, Avg. Pace: 8.41
- Another nice and easy slow planned slow run. Ran with an old high school friend today. It was nice to catch up with him. Hoping he will take me and some other friends down the Ocoee this Saturday. Also, ended up getting burnt today outside by the pool today by accident. This fair skin can't take much of it!!

Wed: 8 miles (Raisin Woods)
Time: 1.06.37, Avg. Pace: 8.20
- Nice and easy run. Legs are feeling great along with the top of my foot. I plan on picking the pace up next week. Who knows, maybe I will tomorrow. I almost ran 10 today but decided against it at the last second. I have pleantly of time before my next serious race.

Thur: 5 miles (Raisin Woods)
Time: ? Avg. Pace:  ?
- Felt aweful today and it wasn't because of the heat! My legs and body just didn't want to go. I stopped my watch after about the 5th time that I had to stop and walk. Just didn't have it at all today. Hoping tomorrow will be better. On a lighter note I am going to a cencert tonight to see Saving Abel!

Fri: off
-  Dissappointed in myself for not running today. Luckly it isn't the end of the world or anything. The dog days of summer are in full force and it's hard to get out there. Just have to overcome it and show how bad I want it!
