I don't know what it was about Saturday's run but it really took it out of me. I was beat and sore sunday but thought it would go away by monday. It didn't so I decided to take the day off and let my legs recover a bit. I was feeling pretty good this morning to out I went. 9 around the neighborhood at an easy pace, 9:32 average.

Neighborhood run again. Nothing special but I got the miles. the first half was kind of slow due to the uphill nature of the route but the second half picked up a bit. I finished with a 9:29/mi time, which is in range for easy run pace. Good enough.

I don't know what my deal is this week but I feel beat. I couldn't get out of bed this morning and by the time I did it was already hot enough I couldn't convince myself to go run in the heat. So, I did 10 on the TM in 91 minutes.
