AM: 11.2 miles, averaged 8:12. HR 135. Did some strides. 

Boy, I was thinking I was going to mostly skipp the creatine weight gain phase. Ouch. I know it is just water, but still. Damn. It was work getting back down. I think it will settle back out, but I need to be careful. I can't have this.

PM: 4 miles, averaged 8:42. HR 127. 

Legs a little sluggish to start, then felt solid, then I felt like I got sunscreen in my eye, or pollen, then my legs just gave up and felt like I had no energy and bonked hard, but finished up 4 miles and walked the rest of the way home. Nice night for it.
