Took a few days off after lingering effects of cramps late in last week's 15-miler. Finally felt like running today, and did 84 laps at MAFC. No problems in the cramp area, fortunately. Probably will try to do a bunch of 6-milers this week, then another long run early next week.

After 84 laps yesterday, 80 more today, actually slightly faster overall. I'm just trying to have some level of overall fitness. If I have to walk some in Sweden, so be it; might actually be better considering I'll have three days of sightseeing in London after that. I was pretty stiff last night before I went to sleep, not so bad today. I'm hoping to get in 30 miles or so this week, just 5 or 6 at a time, then do a decent LR on Monday.

Stretched a 6-miler at MAFC into 8 at 9:18 average. Figured I'd get called during the run, but didn't.

Planned to do 6 or so at MAFC, but just wasn't feeling it. So when Jen called, I took the opportunity to bail. Lack of motivation? Yup. Pretty sure I'm going to back off after Stockholm and recharge the batteries, do some things other than just run.
