Felt pretty good this morning in that my legs weren't sore or stiff from the weekend run.  I really did feel good this past weekend on my run and I've been doing some thinking.  Bottom line is I really don't know what my body is capable of doing.  When I ran my a/p of 9:30 this past weekend I felt really good and I didn't give 100%.  I still had a lot left.  I was tired but not spent.  The question is was it 70%? 80%? 90%?  I would like to lean toward the 70%, but I just don't know.  I know I should try to do a 5K, but it's just not available to do here in this environment.  We shall see.  Here's today's splits:

11:48, 11:39, 10:50, 11:39 ...  I'm such a bum when I don't have someone to run with!  I'm a social runner!

Must be the Harmatan's that tire me out so much.  I haven't been running with a mask but maybe I need to!  I'll try it tomorrow maybe.  Slow run.  Played tennis in the pm and twisted my ankle a little bit.  We'll see how it feels with my slated 7 miles for tomorrow.

Well, my ankle was sore today, but not THAT sore.  So I did my slated 7 miles for the day.  I went easy and enjoyed listening to a talk show on my IPOD. Good to keep up with what's going on in the world!  Here are my splits:

12:07, 11:32, 11:23, 11:37, 11:42, 12:29, 11:02

very tiring run for me today.  Did have a partner except for the last 3 miles.  It was hot and humid and generally just miserable!  Was so, so wiped afterwards as well.  The temp was between 85 and 90 and the humidity was probably around 70%.

12:10, 11:10, 10:52, 11:15, 11:25, 10:52, 11:18, 10:53, 10:43, 10:01, 9:29, 9:34, 10:06

So can you tell when I had someone to run with?
