My legs felt a little better this morning for some odd reason, I don't know if it was the strength training that I did on my lower body yesterday or what, but they were tolerable thats for sure! I ran real easy and headed out towards the base of pretty little hill and Harry's hill and then turned and came the same way back, average pace was 9:11 with my HR at 145, total time was 41:48... I finished up with some core training and some push-ups, I hope I feel  this good tomorrow, I mean don't get me wrong I still have some aches and pains but if they don't get any worse than this then I won't complain;-)

See ya tomorrow.
