Was planning on getting up at 4:45am but my daughter had other plans. Up at 4:15am then commute run in to lab. Even though I got in and ready by 5:30am I'm already an hour behind in the day... Oh well. The run was not eventful just VERY slow... Not fully awake and uphill is a bad combo. Foot about the same as is the knee. You have to love the joys of getting back to it. Avg. SLOW (11:57 no kidding!)

Right now the pace doesn't matter anyway, because of the recovery. Besides who really cares about a pace after finishing a race. I love going slow after a race. I think you have more fun enjoying the run.

Sorry about your daughter I hope things are well.

Hi Kory, The pace is not big deal. Just funny what a range the body feels... My daughter is doing fine. She only had a slight fever on Sat and that may have been because of a flu shot. She had a slight sore throat on Thur and it has gotten better each day. My wife and youngest have also had a sore throat/drippy nose but seem to be fine (no temps)... I hope all is well with you.
