1.5 warm-up and cool down, 5 mile tempo at 6:45.  All on the TM.

 I worked hard painting and cleaning and getting utilities etc. set up along with having to do the whole closing thing while I was in KY (Sunday to Wed.).  My friend that I was staying with lived 30 minutes from my house.  I got about 5 hours of sleep a night and didn't even take the time to eat too much.  And there is still TONS to do on our little 1250 s.f. house.  Yeah - the running just didn't get prioritized after Monday.  My husband told me to just count it as a rest week - especially since my legs still don't feel quite right.

I barely got to the gym in time to do this what with not wanting to leave my kids again after they'd already been through 3 days without me.  I went to the gym after they fell asleep.  This run was confidence building.  The 6:45 pace didn't feel too hard.  I kept it a little slower to protect my recovering legs.  It bothers me that I haven't done much speed work over the last couple of weeks - but I'm trying to let it go.
