Sorry I have not been as good about updating. I have been a little down lately and so I haven't been as reflective about the running. I also have gotten in the habit of putting things up on Dailymile...where you just do the distance, time, and a brief description. I will try to be better about sharing with all of you people, kind enough to follow my running, how things are going.
So, I really want to get close to my old schedule going again. I want to do Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, then the Saturday long run until my next tapper week. Then start slowly...very slowy....adding shorter Friday runs and moving the days back to as the are supposed to be (M,T,W,F,Sa). That is the plan right now....
I got up a little late, but wanted to rest because I had a job interview over in Cheyenne (got the job by the way and I am very happy). When I finally was dressed and ready I went outside and was a little surprised by how cold it was. Heard yesterday that it was supposed to warm up today...and it did....but not much in the morning.
Stretched well and started on my way up the hill. The right IT was there immediately...but it was just an ache...so I continued on and made it to the top and started going a little faster. Not sure if I mentioned it...but ESPN is back on the radio and that makes me very happy.
Thought about just doing three and calling it a day...but I need to keep making strides forward. And as a wise runner once told me....3 miles is just a warm-up. So 5 it was....
End of the run I stretched a bit. I haven't been able to do quite as much core work, because having my legs bent to do crunches really aggravates the ITB. I am hoping to slowly put them back in on non-yoga days. The run itself was pretty nice. I like the cool weather and I am sure I will miss it. My time was 48 minutes and about 30 seconds I believe. My pace was 9 minute and 31 second miles. If the legs can hold up...I know the engine likes the pace....fingers crossed...10 tomorrow! Thanks for reading.

Nice work, Sean! New job in Cheyenne??? What will you be doing? Are you moving over here? I love to do pilates roll ups as part of my core training. If your core is strong enough, you don't even have to bend your legs to do them - just lay them flat on the floor. I have also read they are more effective than crunches because they work more of your abdominal area than the small area worked w/ crunches and situps.
