I ran out towards Mini GU corner, dead legs were back but they didn't really start bothering until I had about a mile left, it feels like they are just totally bonked out! The first 6 miles I did on my own and then I ran a mile with Ethan, he was having some motivation issues so I ventured out about 50 yards ahead of him just to see what he would do and then sure enough he comes flying by me and as he was passing me he said "I'm not letting an old man beat me"! It was pretty comical. My average pace was 8:53 with my HR average at 136, total time for the seven miles was 1:02:33. IT-Band was about like it always is just kind of there, but my dead legs just sucked... Loafer to the mailboxes tomorrow morning, should be a great time!

See ya tomorrow

Despite your dead leg issues, you are still logging the miles and getting in some good runs. Keep it up.

Nice job Clay just keep at it and you will bw back to your old self. Tell Ethan to slow down.
