Nice quick morning run up wade road, it was nice to have some extra time. AP: 8:01.

Did another 3.1 in the evening. it was deliberately and gratefully at a slower pace. AP: 8:33. My legs were more tired than I realized from the morning run. It makes a big difference if I give myself the whoel 24 hours to rest.

Wade road route again today. I was tired from the runs yesterday. the first mile while I was getting warmed up felt super tight and the pace was 9 min/mile. after that I loosened up and the rest though harder than on prior days went pretty smoothly and the pace for the last 3.5 miles was 8:12/mile, which is only slightly slower than my usual for that course.

I did a 10 mile jog this morning. I did it around the neighborhood. I wanted to get out on trails but my wife didn't want me to be gone all day. I ran up Wade road which has several pretty healthy hills. it felt pretty good I did start to tire out at the end. That might have had more to do with having to loop around the neighborhood to get myself to 10 miles. AP: 8:18.

 I did another 1/2 mile in the evening with the kids trying to get them into runnign my oldest is starting to do pretty good.
