Was way too tired for as slow as I was running. Once again, lungs and heart felt great but legs had nothing in them. That is 2 weeks in a row with a bad long run. I'm starting to lose a little confidence which isn't good since Des News is only 3 weeks away. Both achilles tendons were pretty sore. Most likely due to putting too many miles on a pair of shoes then trying to adjust to a fresh pair.

Saw a deer running down the middle of the road not too far from where a moose got hit by a car last week. Wonder why they are coming down from the hills.

Andy - I do not put too much weight on how easy a slow pace feels. Sometimes it feels easy, but I do not perform well at race pace, other times, slow pace feels hard, but race pace feels fine and I can hold it.

But looking at your week, you have every reason to be tired. We are in the same boat - I've just put it quite a bit of miles, and was feeling tired on Saturday.
