The last few runs last work were not fun. They seemed hurt and felt like doing chores. This morning I finally started to get that happy, "I love running" feeling that I usually get when I run. It was a beautiful morning, 60 degrees, no wind and I was up early enough to see the sun rise up over the mountains and onto the lake. I think that helped. My legs felt a lot better today also.

Anyways I did an easy run with the first .2 to .25 miles of each mile after the first between 1/2 MP and MP. Rest day again tomorrow and the Wed I think I'll do the same run I did today except just 6 miles.

SO HAPPY you got that "I love running" feeling back. I think I'm feeling what you were feeling on those last runs last week. Sounds like your legs are regenerated/rejunvenated. You are training SO SMART and timing everything just right. You are READY!!!

Glad to see it all coming together. One week to go!
