No mojo today. I have an allergy on my arms from running in the sun on Saturday.  It makes it hard to sleep and I am itching like crazy.

Ran 3 miles this morning and the legs felt heavy and there was no energy.  I then ran another mile with the dog and she didn't have any energy either.

In a phone meeting now, then flying off to Michigan for the week.

Six miles after work on the freeway path by our hotel in Livonia, Michigan.  This time I ran south, usually I run north.  Tried to push my pace since the elevation is so much lower.

Avg.  11:04   11:32/10:49/10:55/10:55/11:15/10:59

6 miles in the early morning heading North on the freeway trail.  It started out sprinkling, but by a mile or so in it was pouring rain.  Had to watch out for the wet clay patches on the pavement so as not to slide.  Several areas of the trail were totally flooded on the way back.  Made for a wet but relaxing run.

My boss and co-worker headed back to Salt Lake this afternoon. I have another day of testing, then am driving to Illinois and back over the weekend.

7.5 miles tonight with a 2 mile repeat, slight break, then 3 1-mile repeats.  Pretty tired the last mile.  My goal was to try and stay under 10mm.

Faster miles:  9:55 + 9:49/ 10:04 (mainly uphill), 10:11 (losing gas), 10:49 - mentally gave out.
