Ran two grass loops at Sugarhouse park. My legs felt very weak, but despite that I was able to run fast. I didn't do a hard workout because of the long run the day before however. I've clearly got to rearrange this schedule. 1:07:53 (6:24 pace!) pretty consistent pace actually. Last mile was 6:05, not blazing.

I just ran to school today to take the first of my two prelims. I felt I needed a rest day and I really struggled going up the hill. The prelim went well though.

AM Ran to school again for my second prelim. Did not go well. It's not the end of the world however.

PM Ran my usual mountain loop.  Legs were very weak again. I was fine on Friday-Saturday but these last 3 days have been progressively worse. It might be lack of hydration or possibly lack of food. My volume and intensity are in keeping with what I've been doing for the last year. I hope I can pull it together for the SLC half (which I signed up for today) otherwise it will be kind of a waste of time as I'll struggle to finish under 90 minutes.

I again felt very drained before the run even started.  My whole body felt weak but I went ahead and gave it a go.  I kept a steady pace the whole way, I didn't time it but it was maybe 7 flat pace and I felt like I couldn't go any faster. I might have picked it up a little at the end as the run started to get easier.  I think the problem is that I've been undereating for a few weeks now.  Something similar happened to me when I first started college and upped my training. It was not pretty.

Felt a little better today than yesterday and actually felt better towards the end of the run. I may just need to do a hard workout to kick my legs out of this funk. 10.6 miles, two loops of Sugarhouse Park in 1:11:47 (6:46 pace).

Didnt time this run. It felt like that scene in Forrest Gump when his leg braces break and he suddenly becomes a fast runner except the braces just would break. My legs felt very light but at the same time very weak. This is going to end up being a low mileage weak by design.

This run started out well, I felt very good for about 2 miles but then I began to feel fatigued about 2 miles in and it just got worse from there. I still averaged under 7 minutes per mile for the run but there was a very slow segment in there. Anyway, I think I may be slightly anemic which is at least correctable and I can keep training. The SLC half will be interesting however.
