mid morning - 5 Mall Run. I have been very tired lately, and once again I couldn't get up - I can't be so lazy about it and need to just do it. So I sneaked off during my prep and got a quick 5 in. (Precision 111.3) evening - 12.1 Club run down SC Parkway Trail to Ivins and back. Came in with a very negative attitude (not about running, but about life), but the run helped me think about a few things (not to be such a moron and to get rid of my wo-is-me attitude). Started off with the large group (16 or so runners). Chatted with Steve for awhile and then ran with Ken for awhile. Then found myself alone as everyone headed back. Planned on going 5.5 out, but had to extend to the church to find a restroom and suddenly Hayden was there. Planned on coming back at a progressive tempo (2 at 6:30, 2 at 6:00, 2 at 5:45). Hit 6:29 and 6:20 with Hayden then he fell back after working hard to catch up in the first place. Then went 5:58 and 5:55. The last two were the last rolling mile of the trail and then the incline up to the store, hit a 5:52 and 5:50 (was pleased because on flat these times would be under 5:40). Felt good to move a little and enjoy a run. (Stratus 72.25)
