AM: easy 2.33 miles around the neighborhood of the brother-in-law - 20 minutes.  We went and saw Garth Brooks last night in Rupp Arena (Lexington, KY) and he was nice enough to baby sit and let us crash at his place.  Not feeling terrible in the legs.  The stomach issues continue, however.

PM: easy 3 miles in the dark around the neighborhood - about 8 minute pace.  25 minutes of core and leg strengthening.  I have been enjoying eating bad food, also.  

Got a Garmin 310XT watch with a functioning heart rate monitor and ANT USP plug in.  Still on the fence about the 50 miler on December 6th, bu the watch with 20 hour battery life may sway me the right way.

AM: CR Race over at the fairgrounds - across the street from my house.  Did a lot of warming up and felt tired at 7:30-8min. pace.  Low energy as expected week after low mileage and marathon.

Ran 5:50 pace testing the waters and find out really quick that that was about as fast I was going to get.  HR at 180 for 5:50-6:00.  Pretty tired/non-responsive legs.

5k @ LT effort - 18:41 (5:50,5:49,5:58,6:08 pace for partial)

12.7 miles total
