I wasn't feeling the run this morning. We ate dinner somewhat late last night at Texas Roadhouse and then didn't get into bed until late, so I didn't welcome the alarm this morning. I hit snooze and nearly missed out on the run, but my head cleared up and I realized I needed to leave or I wouldn't have time to run before work.

My body didn't feel like anything fast. Neither did my mind. I fear that I may be slipping like I did before St. George last year. I seem to get a little burned-out the final few weeks before a marathon and I may have begun my downward slope. Hope not. I'll try and relax and re-focus the next couple days.

Anyway, I started off with some 8:00 miles (which I was perfectly fine with) and gradually brought it down to 6:11, 6:01, and 5:56 for my last 3 miles. Overall, the pace was still slow though..... Oh well, at least I ran.

Total Time: 1:48:33

Pace: 7:14

My highest mileage week ever!
