It was warm (73), humid and rainy this morning.  I still felt tired and sluggish today.  I planned to do 6 mile MP run today but wasn't sure about it the way I felt.  Decided to give it a try.  I did a 2 mile warmup and felt ok then started the MP run.  It was hard getting going but felt a little better after the first mile.  The second mile was ok but I could tell I was pushing harder than I should for MP.  The third mile my legs started to feel heavy and on the forth I was feeling really tired and my legs felt like lead.  Decided to back off after 4 miles as I just didn't have it.  Even felt tired running easy to finish up.  The splits we on target 7:07, 7:11, 7:07, 7:06 but had to push too hard to hit them.
