Took the day off from work and used the morning to get a few more miles in. The nasty winter weather seems to keep holding off, I'll take that as long as I can get it. 45 and cloudy this morning, really pleasant. Out and back on Tracyton Beach Road to Essex, through Lions Park on the return trip. I may have went out a bit strong the first half. I wasn't at Tinman Tempo, though I considered doing that for a few miles, but about mile 6.5 or 7 my stomach cramped and I stiffened up. I wouldn't call it a 'workout' but it was a good effort for the first 2/3 of the run, then I eased off and came back conservatively. About 68 minutes, so I had a good pace just a smidge above 7 minutes. I definitely need to get back in a groove for longer runs though, I can feel fatigue in my muscles as I approach 10 miles.
