Ran into washington fields with James this morning. Hard to keep the pace, which overall we did about 7:45, just couldn't get the legs to feel smooth for some reason. Probably due to the inconsistency in my running the last few weeks. I am really going to try to hit 65-75 each week until UV Marathon in June. Should give me a lot better chance to go under 2:50...

I didn't know you were doing UV. That should be a good one for you.

Or maybe it was because you where draging me along behind you the whole time. Its not a lot of weight but after a few miles it will wear you down.
