I knew this was a little soon after Sunday's 18, but wanted to get some miles in before leaving for Houston tomorrow to visit my sister. I won't run tomorrow and suspect there will be a reduction in running for a few days so I decided to go ahead and start a workout, with the full understanding that I would jog it in as soon as my body gave the signal and not push it. It was after 9:15 when I started and temps were in the 80s by the time I hit the 5 mle mark. 2 mile warm up, 3 at mp 6:51, 6:43, 6:49, 1 mile jog, then started hmp mile repeats with two minute jogs and knew right away as the timed diminished that I was on borrowed time. I did 4 6:30, 6:24, 6:36, 6:38 and then jogged it in to 16 from there. I want to be careful not to put myself into an overtraining hole. This was good enough for today, off to pack for my trip!
