PM - lunchtime run on the treadmill - 10 miles at 7:30 pace.  Was a very comfortable and stress-free effort.  Have some post workout discomfort in the top of the left foot - still keeping an eye on it.  Was going to do a workout this morning, but felt very "off" when I awoke and after about 30 mins of trying to get started (and I never actually started), I went back to bed for about an hour.  In the past I would have pushed ahead, but I am trying to pay more attention to what my body is telling me.  The extra rest seemed to do me right.

Delaney went to the gym to run and workout and hitched a ride with Riley on her way to her morning swim workout.

Sounds like it was a good move to rest this morning. Good for Delaney to stick with it and not slack off like her dad. Travis is well on his way to the most summer mileage he's ever done. He got pretty interested when I told him that the Midnight Run mile winner usually goes under 5 minutes - he may do the mile and then jump in the 5K with me.

Then you can both do the 10k thereafter right???
