Traveled to Orlando today so I lost most of my day to confinement inside an aircraft. Finally after eating dinner and watching the first few innings of Braves @ Phillies I couldn't stand it any more. I went running.

3.19 mi in 40:41 @ 12:46/mi avg burning 326 calories.

I kept my pace fairly steady until I hit 2.50+ miles. The rest of the distance was just a bit of gutting it out.

I felt a bit of a strain about 4.5 miles and it was a definite stinging pain by 4.6 so I had to finish a bit short of 5.0.

It was a bit warmer today and my legs were tired from yesterday's long run so I ended up with just 3.5 miles today.

I spent the entire night in the A terminal of the DFW airport so I didn't get much sleep. As one might expect, this didn't lead to a strong, long run today.

2.00 mi in 22:57 @ 11:27 avg burning 219 calories.

Today's splits ---
1.00 mi in 11:27
1.00 mi in 11:26

Here's hoping a full night of sleep and some decent meals leads to a better run tomorrow.
