I felt tired at times this morning but then something clicked on the way back and the last few miles I felt pretty damn strong. Its a good feeling to have becasue I havent felt that way for a long time. I felt like I could have kept going which is a good feeling to have. My average pace was still a little slower than I'd like but I'll take it. My average pace was 9:05 with a total time of 2:17:21, my last two miles felt pretty strong and fluid.

See you Monday.
