I was still pretty sore from the race Saturday night, so I skipped my scheduled 9 miles this morning and ran a very easy 6 during my lunch break instead.  Avg pace was 8:50 (treadmill, 1.5 incline). 

This will be a recovery week (i.e. no tempo/speedwork), but similar mileage to the last 3 weeks.

10 miles this morning along the banks, the same as Tuesday's run.  I was in bed by 9pm last night which made getting up at 5 much easier, even with the baby waking up 3 times in the middle of he night.

Similar to other early morning runs recently, it took me 3 or 4 miles to get warmed up and feeling ready to run.  i have decided to go with it and not push the pace until my body is ready.  I did push the pace a little bit miles 7,8, and 9.  avg pace was 8:21.

We drove down to Baltimore last night to visit my family and stayed overnight.  I ran 14 miles this morning along the NCR trail.  My legs felt fresh and the weather was nice so I ran a bit harder than planned.  The first seven miles were around an 8:05 pace with the last seven around 7:30 pace.  overall avg pace was 7:47.
