Missed the long run yesterday so had the bright idea to add some extra miles onto the Sunday recovery run.  It was lovely and humid, but not too hot, for the "regular" part of the run.  It also helps that is was with the group so the miles just flew by.  However, I had to do the last 6 on my own.  It didn't help that I miscalculated the distance home.  I was thinking of the distance from one point on the trail...trouble is that I was almost 1 1/2 miles further away than that...doh!  Oh well it was good to stretch my leg, and be on my feet for a good deal of time.  I had to slow down on the Expo Hills as it started to get warm, and I could feel my heart rate getting high.  Still made it in one piece, and will be ready for a run on Tuesday.

Mile repeats today.  Weather wasn't too bad.  Pretty humid, but nice and cool.  I felt good for the first couple of mile repeats, but then started to feel tired on the 3rd one.  The 4th was barely at MGP as the legs had had enough.  I can certainly feel that I've lost the "edge".  However, the good news is that is (nearly) alwasy a downhill after an uphill battle ;o).

Splits were as follows: 6:45, 6:29, 6:28, 7:15
