I stole this from Tom's blog because I really like it:

Hudson tidbit: "When it's done right, the long-term training process is like an asymptote. The line that the training process moves toward but never reaches is 'perfect training'.....while it's impossible to train perfectly, it is possible to train better and better."

6.15 in 58 minutes.  I was sluggish after doing 24 miles last week and running 6 yesterday and then walking a couple miles in flipflops to our car after a football game.  On top of all that, it was already mid to upper 70s when I ran, so I was a little drained.  Got near my starting point by 4.35 miles and forced myself to go another mile and a half.  Glad I did it.

I shouldn't have done this run.  Oddly, I injured my calf in my sleep.  It just cramped up and the pain woke me from a deep sleep.  It was very strange, and I woke with a strained muscle.  It didn't occur to me to miss my run and rest the leg until near the end of the run when I started feeling the weakness of the calf and the way it was altering my form.  This was probably the beginning of an injury.  :(
