AM: 6 only 10 hours after the long run. I stretched well after the long run but the pavement took its toll. My hips were a bit sore this morning. I don't think my body is used to running on roads anymore. Oh well, with my time constraints this week I just need to get the miles in as fast as possible so unless every run is a tempo run I need to do some pavement. PM: 3 wanted 6 but between work and family obligations I needed to pull a quickie. So I'll have to do 13.something tomorrow. Sunday there is a race in my hometown. Last year the winner went 18:06 which I think I could beat even with no taper. I will go and see how fast they go out in the first mile. If anyone is under 5:40 I will just tempo the rest of it. Between the heat and no taper I don't think it is worth it. On a cold flat course well tapered I think I could go 17 flat now, but I have had several hard days recently trying to catch up the mileage from not running on sunday.
