It was so hard to get out today. I was exhausted from the weekend and didn't sleep well last night. I didn't have more time because I slept in.

Had the morning off so I was able to get more miles in today. Felt pretty good. It is so much nicer to run in the light. Average pace 8:19/mile

It was a great morning for a run. It rained the prior night and the air felt and smelt great. It was so peaceful. I actually really enjoyed running in the dark adn enjoying the peace of the early morning. I was focusing on going slow because of foot pain. I was only planning to go 2 miles. I ended up going almost 3.5 because I felt so good.

Ran with my neighbor up Wade road. He really pushed me. AP: 8:02 and the last mile was 7:26. I felt better going fast as i got an MRI yesterday. I wasn't able to go through everything, but I did make sure that I don't have a stress fracture.

Started this morning wanting to average about 8 min miles. as I got to 4 miles. I realized I could get a PR for my 10k time, which I guess is kind of sad. Anyway I decided to push the last couple of miles to get a PR. I ended up finishing in 49:48 which is better than my prior by 47 seconds. I should try and push it harder I think I could better my time if I do another race.
