TM again. 6 in 55 minutes. I'm not sure but I think my fatigue this week is from over doing it last week.

8.5 around town. According to McMillan, I should be keeping my pace between 8:23-9:40 for this type of a run.  I managed an overall pace of 9:10, mostly because the last couple of miles had some steep hills in them. I'm supposed to do speed work tomorrow but as wiped as I'm feeling right now, I may just go for another easy paced 8-10 miles.
