Ran the same route as Mon/Wed of last week just a little longer. Got out to Malone 2 and turned around. That added another hill to the run. Not sure what my time was, my GPS watch may be biting the dust...

Finally got my Garmin 305 to work. I love this watch, but it has given me so many issues...I think sweat has gotten into the watch a bit too many times.

I ran the first mile in about 8:40 and the second in about 8:20. Just trying to keep the body moving and warm. I had some back spasms yesterday, so I didn't want to push it. Time to get some love from our Athletic Trainers.

Wow, this morning was SO cool! I am amazed how fast fall seems to have come. I'm not holding my breath though, because I know what the weather down here can do. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to run this morning.

The run hurt though. I had back spasms on Monday, and I've got some strange muscle in my upper back behind my lungs that is either really sore, or I pulled it during the back spasms. It makes it really hard to take a deep breath. My body is probably tired anyway, but this run was rough...

8:58   8:31   8:21   8:16  =  8:32 AP at 161 average BPM (way too high for this pace, I'm out of shape)   :(

Couldn't get out this morning. After the rough run yesterday and how my back is feeling, I decided to take today off.

Man, another rough run this morning. My back is feeling a lot better, but not 100% yet. I think sleep and my back/lung pain had an affect on this weeks running. Hopefully next week it gets better.

8:43  8:41   8:22   8:13 = 8:30 Average Pace at an average of 162bpm

I'm out of shape...   :(
