Woke up last night sick at my stomach and then couldn't sleep so was tired this morning.  I felt pretty good running but just took it easy and then added in 6 x strides at the end.  Stomach felt better after running so hopefully just something I ate and not a bug.  If I continue to feel better I will try to add a run this afternoon.

7m in 53:45 (7:41 avg)

PM:  Stomach still feeling a little quezy but wanted to get out and do a few tempo miles to shake the legs out.  I felt flat starting out and did a couple of mile warmup then did 3 miles at tempo pace.  The goal was to run around 6:30:  Here were the splits:

1st - 6:31

2nd - 6:27

3rd - 6:28

The first mile didn't feel very good but I felt better as I went along.  Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow and be ready to race on Sat.
