5 miles, 50 minutes.  I ran the first three with my 2 kids.  They were really lazy and didn't push hard at all.  We went to the West Bountiful park and back, stopping for a drink and bathroom.  After they were home, I ran 2 more, 8 minute pace.  My legs feel pretty bad.  My right knee hurt, and when I got home, I felt like puking for about 3 hours.  I busted so much stuff loose and was just feeling really sick.  This morning my legs feel much better.  I'm sure the run helped.  Maybe tonight I'll swim or do nothing.  My wife said the 10-pack of mini DV tapes she bought are almost full, so perhaps Tuesday night will turn into video editing night instead of choir.

I found myself alert earlier than usual this morning.  The rain had stopped, so I decided to head out.  The morning was fantastic; 50 degree temps, wet roads, beautiful trees, worms all over the place.  I don't feel like running very hard yet, but I feel okay.  No real joint pain, just an overall tiredness.  I'm glad I went.

I guess not running at night makes it so I fall asleep easier.  I've been crashing around 10:30, so I'm wide awake at 6 or so.  This morning I got up and ran BST from 100 S. to Freedom Hills park and back.  What a fantastic, beautiful, resplendent morning.  The leaves on the scrub oak are this delicate, pale, new green.  Each run this week has felt better than the last.

After mowing lawns for 7 hours, I earned my shower with 10k run.  Reading and back.  My ipod was too quiet.  I stopped for Lemonheads at dollar tree, and ate them while watching Sherlock Holmes.

The marathon tiredness and soreness is mostly behind me, although both knees are a bit sore.  I probably should keep things a little on the easy side for another week.  I'll probably run TOU, and maybe Layton City's inaugural marathon.  Until then, it should be challenging to get new 5k and 1/2 marathon prs.
