9.4 miles @ 10:15/mi

Spring break for the girls, so my morning schedule was more flexible and I decided to a little farther than my 3 mile Monday run, or even my 6 miles Tuesday run. I guess I ended up running them both together on Monday. I decided to front load the weekly mileage because I plan to play basketball with my son on Tuesday and Friday mornings. My legs were a little tired from Saturday's run so I ran a very easy pace this morning.

I was only planning on 6-8 miles so I didn't lube my feet. I ended up with a moderate blister on my left instep. Not too painful. I hope it heals quickly.

I'm counting 3 easy miles for my hour of basketball this morning. I don't play much anymore, but I still enjoy it, and didn't stink (too bad).

My Altra's put the least pressure on my blister so I wore them this morning. I felt pretty good and managed to average 8:30 pace with medium effort as I ran laps around the block.
