I didn't feel very good today--not sick so much as just a headache and overall malaise.  I went out 4 miles and back.  The first four miles were in 34:00, and the way back was in 30:00.  I'm going to try to get extra sleep tonight and hope to feel better in the morning.

I went up to the temple, around, and back (all the way pushing Joshua in the stroller.  We averaged in between 7:00 and 7:30 per mile, which was okay since it was getting late and we were staying on the sidewalk (I forget how much it slows you down to go up and down with the stroller every block or so).  But I felt much better today than yesterday.

On a non-running note, I also am getting close to finishing my Honors Thesis and other requirements so I can officially graduate with Honors.  My current Masters program will be happy about that.

I ran to Kiwanis Park the back way by Seven Peaks and then did 2 800-meter repeats (2:41, 2:36) at Kiwanis with about 800 meter recovery in between.  I know that it's not a lot, but it was a good start.  I haven't done 800s since high school, but I think they'll help to regain some speed.  So, in total, 5 miles warmup and cooldown and 2 miles speedwork.

I went 6.25 easy with Zach.  My legs actually felt really good and I think I could have gone faster, but it was good to take it easy.  I'm feeling good about things right now.
