A nice cool morning for a run, started off slow and not much energy. I am just not feeling real great in the leg area, I am really struggling. Its been going on for the last few weeks and I can't seem to get past it. After about my third mile I started to feel a little better as you will see when I list my splits, but my last mile I felt like I had nothing left totally Bonked! My splits went as follows; 8:40(135), 8:57(135), 9:16(137), 8:32(146), 8:15(144), 8:27(144), 8:18(145), 9:02(140). Total time was 1:09:48 with an average pace of 8:41 which is about a minute off my Marathon goal pace, My average heart rate was 141. I will see what tomorrow brings, and try and do my best, tomorrow is run is pretty flat so my legs will or should fair better than they did today,  I will see you then.

man I wish I felt like running and 8:41 pace. I think you are looking pretty good. Give your body time to get used to the extra miles. Hang in there C.B.S.

Your doing awesome.
