It was warm and humid this morning.  Felt pretty good coming off of the half on Sat.  Just a little bit of soreness in the legs.  Just did an easy shake out run to get the legs moving again.  I am planning kind of an easy week this week.  I have been pushing it hard the last few weeks trying to get back in shape so going to take it easy this week then kick back in next week.  Trying to be smart with my training and keep the injuries away.

Philadelphia, PA:  Nice morning with temp around mid 60's and cloudy.  Just another easy run.  That is pretty much the plan for the week.  Just some easy recover runs and then will go from there.  Ran down along the Schuylkill river.

Philadelphia, PA: Warm (69) and humid this morning.  Just another easy run today.  Felt better today and energy seems to be coming back.  Enjoyed running down by the river.  There were a lot of people out this morning which is cool to see so many other runners.

Philadelphia, PA: Warm (73) and humid again this morning.  Had some early meetings so just did 5 miles today.  Planned on this being an easy week so not to worried about the mileage.

Very cool this morning (46) but felt good after the humid days recently.  Felt good this morning but just took it easy.  The easy days and lower mileage seems to be helping with the recovery.  Look forward to getting back in training mode next week.

Worked outside in the yard all day so was pretty tired but glad I got out and ran a few miles.  After I got out I ended up feeling pretty good.  Turned out to be a decent week even though I planned a down week.
