Woke up at 2 a.m. and couldn't fall back asleep. Tossed and turned for a while then decided I may as well go out and get me long run in early. I have some non-running related issues weighing on me and I really couldn't focus on my running for the first few miles. My mind was elsewhere and I was just going through the motions. About half way into the run, I was able to relax and my mind turned toward my running. I felt a lot better and was able to quicken the pace a little. Altered my route and threw in some rolling hills just to spice things up. One taper week down and two weeks to go. Glad I got out because I was able to solve all the world's problems during the run (or at least my problems).
