Went out after work today.  I think that is when I feel best for some reason.  I had a little twinge in the left foot, but I think it will be OK tomorrow.  My legs feel strong today, which is nice.

7.6 tonight - 6:50 pace - i felt better than at 2PM and even tried to open it up over the last mile.  I still don't feel like my stride is open enough but I'm working on it.

Well I ran me a long run this morning :) 

It was good weather for the most part except for a little wind which was a bit annoying.  I ran out of gas at the end cause I'm stupid and didn't drink all of my fuel on the way.  After I stopped I felt horrible for 20 or so minutes.  After I got some milk, gatorade, and a hamburger in me I felt back to normal.  Then we went ice skating for a couple hours.  It was the first time I've done that since college.  We had a blast.  This was my son's 2nd time -- last saturday he had a b-day party at the rink.  And my daughter did it for the first time.  They really are picking up well.  And it was really good exercise after a 2:45 run.   

Getting excited for the USA - Canada gold medal hockey game tomorrow. ..
