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.

Usual route. Still did not feel great. A little better than last week but still way to slow and way to labored. My average pace was 9:05 with a total time of 3:03:13. At least I was able to get to 20. 50 mile week. Thats 2 in a row.

See you Monday.
