AM:  Haven't run since last Tuesday due to tightness and pain all through my back and neck.  Very uncomfortable pain and discomfort.  I have been pretty worried about it.  Last thing I need right now is an injury.  I am glad that I took some time off.  I think my legs benefited but my back was still feeling tight and sore when I showed up for the run this morning.  Met Matt at Scott's house and we set out on a enjoyable run.  Very fun conversation the whole time.  Matt has been a huge reason for staying consistent and getting the second wind back to running.  We kind of just cruised easily.  Felt good til about 9.5 miles and then soreness and tightness set in.  I am just going to focus on single workouts this week and monitor this well.  Excited to hear all the results for the friends running Boston today.   Just heard about the bombs that went off.  Such a horrible tragedy for what is suppose to be an awesome day.  I am sick to my stomach and wish all of the people involved safety and recovery.

Day OFF:  Kind of my Boston tragedy.  Not much to say.  Just feel num and really hopeless.  Wanted to run 10 easy.  I guess in my mind and my emotions I did.  Hope to do a great workout tomorrow.

Lunch:  Wanted to get in a good workout today since I have felt like I have really done nothing the past week.  Kind of true actually.  My back and neck are still jacked up.  No clue what is wrong.  Just trying to work through it and hope that this funk can recover soon.  I decided to run up the backside of Sunny Side from the cemetary to do the dump(top of Ammon).  I took it easy on the way up just trying to focus on climbing.  I am not a very good uphill climber right now, but it is starting to get easier.  I didn't feel tired til about a 1/4 mile from the top.  That is a good sign for me.  I took a bathroom break and stretched for a bit and then started into the workout part of the run.  I wanted to just fell like I was doing a nice tempo HM pace even though it was downhill.  My goal was to feel in control and try to avg 5:50 to 6:00 pace without having to try and force the pace.  5 miles 5:57 avg.  I felt really good.  I would have gone faster but the 50 mph head winds literally were holding me back.  I felt very consistent and even paced the whole time.  Great deposit workout for my upcoming half.  I like where I am at.  Now if I can just focus better on my weight and get it down I might start seeing my speed one day come back.

Lunch:  Took off to do a good target run.  Felt great after a 1/2 mile into the WU.  At the mile mark started my workout part  of the run.  Got in 6 miles @MP(6:40 avg.)  Mile CD.  I felt really good during this effort.  I never felt like I was pushing.  The effort was consistent and smooth.  I felt a little fatigued at about 4.5 miles into the MP with a little soreness in my left hip flexor.  It worked itself out though so I didn't worry too much about it.  My back and neck are still jacked.  Felt a little better today but I will continue doing the press ups and monitor it.  Glad to feel like I can be effective again.
