Decided to take yesterday off to give myself some rest.  I've been battling a cold and it's really zapping my energy and motivation.  Today, I wasn't feeling much better, but wanted to give it a try. During the run I noticed I wasn't really feeling any better so I tried to keep the pace honest, but not too difficult.  I think I did an okay job through 12 miles, but the last 4-5 miles were too much.  I tried to put in a faster marathon pace effort, but my legs and body started shutting down.  Ran a 6:31 and then hit a 6:46 at the same effort.  The sun was out and the humidity was high by the end of the run.  I managed a death march home, took a shower, and sat on the couch the rest of the evening.  Hopefully, my lazy evening will make up for the tough run I put myself through.  Tomorrow is going to be really easy running if any at all.  It's going to be a very busy week, only 1 left before school starts up again. Avg pace 7:20
