Long run with Kathy, Jill, Rose, David and Randy up Massard and around the Chaffee loop. Plenty of hills there. Took me a while to get going but went OK once I did. Not quite making up for the 26 I didn't do last weekend though.

Recovery run. Waited too long to go and temp was over 60 by the time I finished. Kept the pace nice and slow, 1:13ish for 7.67. I was tempted to do hill bounds at the end by heavy legs convinced me otherwise. That can wait unti, maybe, tomorrow. We'll see if I have the discipline to run every day until the end of the year. That's my current goal.

Bed magnet was pulling me hard, but somehow I got out the door and got in four miles anyway. Legs hurt, sleepy, just generally blah. Don't know that I feel any better afterward either, but it's done and the miles are in the book/on the blog.

Up at 4 am to do 7 with Kathy, Tiffany, and Cindy M. I'm starting to feel a little Achilles tendinosis on the right side. Better ice that sucker and maybe take off a day or two.
