UGH

Yesterday Todd and I ran a really hard 10 miles. I let him be the navigator and he took me all over. We ran Glassman Way across 89 into the neighborhoods, back across 89 towards Harrison where we crossed and ran Old Post Road and then up and over Weber State. We cut through Weber State and back out again and ran up Harrison to 40th where we went west and turned on Monroe. Monroe killed me. It was our last mile or so and it was a gradual uphill until we hit Glassman again where it was a steep uphill. Once we hit 10.5 I stopped us. We still had a block or so to home but I was done and wanted to have some walking cool down time.

It was a good route with a lot of hills. Seemed to take forever though. Todd did really well and only stopped a few times to stretch his legs. I felt stiff the entire time like I was carrying bricks in my legs. I need to have an attitude adjustment. My mind and body are just not into it. Last year I used to get excited about long runs. I would look forward to the challenge. This year I think I just have too much going on so it isn't as exciting. I need to change that because attitude makes all the difference in the world how you feel while running.
