After work this afternoon I had to complete the long run that I missed while driving to Kansas City on Sunday. Unfortunately, while I was motivated to run today the legs proved a bit unwilling and I was forced to stop at the 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 marks to rest my calves. After the 3.0 mark though I was able to proceed -- slowly -- with the remainder of the run. The rolling hills that make up the terrain near the hotel also made the run seem so much longer as it kept the pace slow.

Paces -- 13:18 *ouch calves are cranky* 12:40 *picking up pace and stretching calves* 12:49 12:51 13:16 *out on skyview for a long slow climb* 13:33 *going up 108th is not an easier* 14:08 *holy cow, now I feel like I am climbing straight up!*
I will have to pick up the pace in my shorter runs this week to get a bit more work for the heart and lungs.
