AM: 3.65 Sooo tired. Probably from yesterday's 8 mile run.  On blackstone there were these total poser runners who got on a block ahead of us and proceeded to run about 7 pace.  This is not okay in my book.  So we slowly picked it up until about a mile later we passed them.  Then jamie surged for the pawtucket city line a mile out and stupidly i went with him knowing he would crush me.  Anyway, nothing hurting particularly on me so thats good.  Over the past few days had a bit of a scare with my ITB and some mild plantar fascitis.  But good old ibuprofen came through once again.

 PM: Red Rooster Ramble in 31:03 for second.  I biked down there and have upped my mileage so much in the past two weeks that I am very happy with that time.  It was a decently hard tempo but I figure I could go at least a minute faster racing without biking.  And if tapered then maybe better.  But this was really just a baseline from which to work off.  Now I know that fat, broken down, and tired I can run 6:12 pace pretty well.

The calories burned includes my 22 mile bike ride 11 down and back.
