Junk miles along canal road. My average pace was 8:41 with a total time of 45:19, i finished up with some upper body weights and some pushups. I didn't want to lose another day where I didn't have time to run on Wednesday. It felt good to clean out the old cobwebs in the head.

See you tomorrow.

Payson Park Loop and then extended a little when I got back to the house. I felt a little clunky at first from my long run on staurday but then I settled in. I pushed the lasy mile or so to MP. My average pace was 8:33 with a total time of 1:10:07, I finished up with some upper body weights and some pushups. I had MP miles on 7:59, .20 8:00. Its a good start to the week. Last full week of trraining and then its time to start tapering for the St George Marathon.

See you tomorrow.

I felt like I was able to do that for the most part.
