Easy run this morning. I ran up to first dam via the Canal Trail. I had a hard time getting going. My body wouldn't let me break 8:00 pace until the 4th mile. I think I was still asleep or something. I didn't worry about it though as it is an easy day, so I listened to what my body was telling me. I have been training hard for the last month or so building in mileage and intensity and I am concerned about overtraining. I want to run well this weekend at Draper Days and also at Des News 10K so I think I will take it easy the rest of this week and use it as a recovery week. I think I am getting a cold and some of the stresses lately are getting to me. So I must be "on the edge" with my body.
