6.5 miles in 50:00, 7:41/mi, HR 152. Soreness and stiffness didn't recede until about 3 miles into run. Feeling much more beat up than normal this week, despite the reduced mileage. The foreign runs, flat terrain, heat & humidity, work, off-schedule, lack of deep sleep all conspire against a good taper. Hopefully I can pull it together this next week.
