Arrived at Longleaf late. Jumped out and stated running with Eudair with out a warm up. I absolutely burned up my legs. Anything I gained by resting this week, I trashed by today's run. Eudair and I were at a sub 7 pace out and Mark and I returned in the low 6:40's. 

I should have saved my legs for the race on Saturday.

 Did 2.5 mile warm up with some pick ups toward the end. I just wasn't feeling it today. My breathing seemed labored and my legs just had no energy. The start of the race felt good but within the first 5K I was still not breathing comfortably for the effort. I just gradually faded. Toward the last 5K I was doing everything in my power to keep from walking. It felt a lot hotter than what the temperature reading says. We had full sun, no shade, and little breeze. Bottom line: today was not my day.
