8 miles in unusally warm weather for DEC, it was 63'F at 6:00am. ended up averaging 6:45 pace again over very hilly course with very strong head winds during second half of run. Legs still zonked and exhausted for some reason.

Finally a fairly flat course today. Still a very tough day with legs still feeling completely shot. Averaged 6:40 pace overall for 10 miles. Thinking about getting a blood test to make sure things are ok as legs are just not feeling normal.

Eight miles at 6:50 avg. Pace again. I would call it easy but it was a very hilly course and I was very tired.
