AM- Went 5 miles and felt sluggish and sore. I am not sure if it was from not running yesterday or I started out much to quickly. I had to cut it a little short because of an Easter Egg hunt that we went to as a family. Last year Ethan was still pretty little so he slept right through it, today he had a good time though! I averaged a 7:34 pace. 

7:22   7:05   7:25   7:55   8:01 

PM- Was feeling a little better this afternoon and wanted to go out and get some of those lost miles from yesterday. This time I put on the 5 fingers and ran the whole time in them. It was a pretty good run. Being that I ran in the 5 fingers and that I haven't really been feeling good, I made up my mind to take this one easy. I figured an average of 8:00 pace would be good and I ended up with an 8:02 average.
