I woke up this morning feeling like I had been hit by a bus.   My legs ached and I was having some other odd pains so I opted out of an early morning run.   This meant I got to either run at lunch or not run at all.  I almost missed running at lunch until I saw some guy running down the huge hill outside my office and it spurred me on.   I ran part of the 5K course for the race I am running on Saturday (not as much downhill as I had led myself to believe) and then back up the big hill to make it 4 miles.   I felt much better than I did the last time I ran this and it was much hotter today - 87 degrees, but I made it up the hill feeling good.   Avg Pace 8:43.   Plan is for more miles tonight with my daughter.

 

I headed out with my 11 yr old to run and she had done great last week, but struggled tonight.  We did 2.53 running with a couple of stops and then .5 walking home.
