| I ran outside before work this morning instead of going to the gym. I am not sure if this was a good idea or not, as I felt sluggish. I was finally able to pick up the pace for the final 2.5 miles as I was able to change my route a bit. I am looking forward to resting the legs for the next day or two. |

| My running buddy was unable to run this morning, so I ran with the other members of the group. Things went well as I was able to maintain about a 10:00 minute pace. I also went further than I planned, which made me feel good. Skies were overcast, which was great, until the rain came during the last 1 1/2 miles or so. |

After getting in late last night and then being woken up by the dogs this morning, I decided to stay up and just get my run in. It was overcast and not too humid, therefore, I felt that this was better than waiting until later. My time wasn't good, but I did feel better as I went along. I also enjoyed my music, which I don't bring with me too often. My plan now is to nap sometime this afternoon. |

| Today was our first day back to work. Getting a run in was a nice way to start the new school year. |

| It wound up being a nicer morning than I anticipated. I ran with my running buddy for 10 miles and then we walked for a half a mile. It was nice conversation that made the miles go by. |

There was actually some cool air outside. It would have been even better if I started earlier, but it still was a nice change. Unfortunately, I wasn"t moving at a decent pace. I slowly picked up the pace during the first four miles, but I slowed down for miles 5 and 6, then picked it up for the last mile. |

I guess I am back to my normal routine. I was at the gym by a little after 5:00am. I felt decent on the treadmill, although I did feel a need for a walk break after almost each miles. I finished in about 58 and a half minutes. |

| I was back at the gym this morning for another early morning run. I definitely felt tired, feeling the need for a walk break after each of the first four miles. Once again though, I was able to take up pace for the last couple of miles and of course, felt good when I was done. |

| I was back at the gym this morning for my run on the treadmill. A part of me wanted to walk, but I knew that I would regret it. I felt pretty decent, but did allow myself to walk at each mile when I needed to. |

| My plan was to run 10 miles this morning. Unfortunately, due to exhaustion and cramps, my run was not pretty. I really thought that I was going to have to walk a good chunck of it. I did walk when my legs didn't want to move. It took until at least mile 5 before I felt better. I had to cap my mileage at 9 since we had someone coming to clean our carpets. |

| After taking off a rare Sunday, I was back at the gym this morning for a really good run. My legs felt good and I was able to keep a nice pace. |

| Back at the gym for another run. Today wasn't good as yesterday, but it wasn't bad. I just didn't feel as strong as I would have liked to have felt. |

| I woke up feeling really tired, which is typical for the middle of the week. Fortunately, I made it through my third and final run at the gym this week. I felt alright, a bit tired, but I was successful at completing my mileage for the day. |

| This was not what I would call a good run. I and my running buddy were exhausted. We mostly ran but there was a bit of walking. We actually ran a good part of the Athens Half Marathon that is coming up in October. I was quite happy to be done. |

| Thank goodness for Sundays. This is the only day that I truly sleep in. I made myself get up so that I could get my run in. I was tempted to go back to work, but knew that I would be better off if I got my run in. The run wasn't bad, but not great either. I just tried to make the best of it and enjoy the cooler air (it wasn't really cool, but it was better than it has been). |

| I was back at the gym this morning, but feltt beat. I kept thinking on the drive over that maybe I need to highly consider working out after work a couple of days a week. I would get more sleep and would probably eat less later in the day. It is something to consider again. At the gym, I had an issue with my regular treadmill. I beleive that the belt was replaced as it looked new. Unfortunatlely, I started to hear a weird noise, close to mile 2, which then led to a burning smell. When I finishes my second mile, I thought that it would be best to move to a different treadmill. I almost stopped at 5 miles due to time, but chose to finish out my 6. |

| I didn't feel as tired as I did yesterday, which was good. I had to also cut back a mile so I could get my dogs to doggie day care when they opened. I felt alright as I finished up another day on the treadmill. |

| I was back at the gym this morning, this time with the beginnings of a cold. I felt the need to stop at every mile so that I could use a tissue. I actually felt better than I expected, but did need to cut it short due to time. I have a feeling that I am going to need to wake up a tad earlier to get my full run in. |
