Thursday, August 06, 2009  Tonight, was the first chance I have had to run since Sunday. I managed to get to the treadmills and slowly and somewhat painfully knock out 3 miles. I did some...I guess you could call it speed work for the last mile or so to try and make it interesting. My heart wasn't in it though...I kept thinking about home, my family...anywhere but here. And the end of the workout I was drenched in sweat. I literally felt like I had run in a swimming pool I was so soaked.

Last weeks totals weren't bad, though. I finished with 21 miles for the week. The 5k 'loop' I ran at the beginning of the week in 35:45. The last loop of the week was at 34:11. So at least I'm getting back into the swing of things. I can't remember the total number of calories burned, but I think it was around 2800 calories.

On the bright side though, I do feel better after the run. A little more relaxed anyway.
