Mid-Tempo Run Day.  Wasn't looking forward to running on tired legs, they feel tight in the upper thighs to the buttocks.  Need a deep massage and some stretching.  Sleep still not great but better last night to get in over 8 hours, it just didn't feel rejuvenating.  I guess I need another Disneyland trip.  The nights there were soooo luxurious.   Okay I'll take Hawaii instead.  Anyway, ran to the rec and added on a mile to get 4 miles there.  Warmup mile on the TM at 1 % incline, was going to change it to zero for the tempo run but I decided to test myself and keep it at 1% telling myself I could turn it downanytime to make it feel easier.  I always take the bait.  After the warmup I ran these mile paces:  7:08, 7:08, 7:03, 7:03, 6:59.   Goal was 7:05 avg so I think I got that right on.  Felt very controlled and if my butt and hips weren't tight it would have been really nice.  I am off to Olive Garden for Birthday Luncheon.  My mother in law gave me a gift card there.  Too bad I can't have dessert...for a while.  I did drink 8 ounces of gatorade though as I am out of Orange Juice.  Work the next two nights.  Should average exactly 60 miles this week.  Just keeping it real :D.  EXCITED for the WINTER OLYMPICS.  I would have loved to be an Olympic Cross Country Skier.
