In Syracuse for work and I thought since I was so much further north, it would cool.  Not quite - actually the same as Texas - hot and humid.   I headed out and didn't take any money with me which ended up being a mistake by mile three.  I turned around at mile 4 and headed back and then grabbed a gatorade at the hotel - grabbed a drink and then finished up the last two.   My legs are still heavy and tired and the effort is more than I would like for the pace - hopefully this means in a few weeks, good things will come.

I arrived back in Dallas late last night and had an early flight out of Love Field this morning, so I opted to stay in a hotel near the airport.  Super nice, I might have to due this more often.   Woke up at my normal time and went and ran on the oldest, nosiest treadmill ever.   Warmed up for two miles and then started my tempo.

1 min on/off

2 min on/off

3 min on/off

back down and started back up until I hit 30 minutes. 

The on's were 6:53 and the off's were 9:13.  This is much easier on the treadmill then on the road but I due need to either pick up the on pace or off pace, or possibly both.   Pleased with the work out and that I was in more control then previous versions.

My legs are tired and my quads are sore.  Nothing really specific but very naggy.   Lots of foam rolling on tap tonight.

Our "store group" that has defected and is starting earlier than the rest is growing. We ended up with 8 people there today. We started out and right away I knew I was in trouble. My legs were heavy and tired....I am starting to think they have never recovered from my race. We did the same route as last week, just adding on a bit. The last 6 miles, the walking at the water stops got longer and I started feeling the run. It is a great group and I really enjoy running with them.
