I was thinking today how most runners are either getting slower from running track in high school / college and moving on to longer distances or trying to get faster because they've never really ran but somehow both are meeting somewhere in the middle. I started running just last year and when I run with the younger kids it seems like their speed is just so easy and then us old guys talk of mile splits in a whole different reality. Ok, enough babbling, Bench route, rolling hills, I pushed flat and down hill tempo a bit more, took it way easy on the climbs. Overall good run. 18.6/2:06/6:45 This is also my attempt at a lower week. It was a little hard to lay off a couple afternoon runs but my body needed it. I went home from work last night and just crashed. I slept 9-10 hours for the first time in a long time. My wife was a little upset I didn't do anything but I just couldn't my body just gave up.
