PM: 12 miles, averaged 7:51. HR 149.

6 Miles @ Marathon Effort + 1 Mile Hard

Legs felt quite unresponsive, but I settled into the effort and made it work. 7:24, 7:22, 7:20, 7:13, 7:15, 7:19. Took 3' jog and ran 6:21, which was pretty decent. Cooled down for a few minutes and then just felt very tired and grumpy. I think I am just ready to have the power back on. 

We took the boys to a party at their friend's parents', which was fun. Got a notification that the power was back on.
