I suck.

Okay, lets get caught up with all my running.

I ran 6 miles on Saturday around my Mom's house and I don't remember anything about it, so I guess it was fine.

Sunday, I got up extra early and drove down to Clearwater Beach and ran my long run down there. It was pretty nice out, but warm as always. I ran a couple miles right on the hard packed sand right by the water, which was beautiful. After about 8 miles, and after I went over the Sand Key bridge, the wheels came off, and I felt drained and frustrated. I struggled to walk and run the last bit.

Monday brought 6 more miles back here in Houston, and I felt good.

But today was awful. I slept in and didn't get started until after 9:00. I ran down on the trails and found myself without energy and without motivation after about 2.5 miles. I walked a bit, and ran some more, and walked some more. I'm counting it as 4 miles, since that's about as far as I actually ran.

In general, things are still a bit rough, since my last bump in mileage. A couple times a week, I feel good, and 6 miles floats by without effort, but it's still a struggle much of the time. And Sunday's long run, and today's run are frustrating me. I've been at 6 miles per day for 3 weeks now, and I should be mostly adjusted to it by now, but I feel drained much of the time, even when I'm not running. Right now, I'm trying to gmap my route for Sunday's run, because I don't know the distance, and my internet connection is so slow, that I think I might actually die from it.

I think I need to get back to simplifying my life. Remember when I was going to do that? and I was going to give up television and stuff like that. I think I need to do that. There are a few frustrations I can do without.

I'm looking forward to getting caught up on all your blogs.
Keith out. Way out.
