Jogged along J. Blanchard Trail in Orlando. Good news: Weather is warmer than the week in Virginia. Bad news: Weather is warmer than the week in Virginia.

My legs were so tired and sore I just told myself to go as slow as necessary to get these miles done.

Closing in on the 01 May race date so I am feeling a bit anxious but after tonight's run I am confident I will be ready. I was able to do the first 6 miles nice and slow, pushed for about 4 miles (including 1 mile near 10:30) and then coasted for the last one. Put about 2 hours and 13 minutes into the legs so I am sure I will be feeling them tomorrow.

Ugh my legs were so tired and sore that these 5 miles took forever at a limp along pace. Got them done though.

Trudged through 8 miles at a snail's pace. Time to take a few days off and let everything recover.
