Ran with James, Dave, Bill, Logan, and Steve out on the Bearclaw loop in bloomington. Good run. Felt a little sluggish first 3 or 4 then loosened up and felt good till the last two when I was gettting a bit tired. We were pushing 7:00 miles coming in the last few miles and it felt good. Haven't checked the garmin yet to see how many miles at Marathon pace so I am putting them all in at easy miles for now...

Was actually shooting for another 60 mile week but didn't happen due to work changes late in the week but I am thinking it was good to let the miles sink in from last week and let my body recover. Had some issues with the right leg early in the week and I think it was due to some fatigue. Felt great today so I think taking it easy the last 3 days helped. Next week will be interesting as we are doing the Lake to Lake relay and I will probably taper a bit late in the week to be ready.
