tripped on some road litter (a metal loop from a car wheel) and wiped out.  Got a little road rash.  
I felt ok other than being heavy from too much Easter food...

PM - man that fall today - I'm sore and can't take a deep breath so I had to really slow it down

dang it is hot out - I'm not used to that yet.  And i can't take a deep breath yet.  So I'm pretty happy with the pace.  It felt like I was really plodding and I was happy that I didn't quit and walk.

had a great PTO with the kids - we did lunch with mom at a BBQ joint then went to see The Spy Next Door, and then did a couple hours at Dave and Busters.  
Thought I'd be tired but I had a great run.  The pace felt natural and not like I was pushing.  My chest still hurts a bit when taking a deep breath, but it is better then yesterday.

got out before lunch and did an easy 4 - hope to do more later this afternoon

4 @ 7:06 ave pace

Got in another 5.75 after work - 7:08 ave pace -- feeling good - need new shoes soon - I'm over 650 miles on these.  Taking another day off to spend with the kids tomorrow - need to get in a few miles tomorrow but nothing crazy.  I just want to average 50 for the next few weeks.  I nede to get speed work in.  I went to the track today and they had it locked.  I need to just plan to do it on the streets I guess.  But I was really busy this afternoon and didn't plan it out.  oh well.

It was a long day with the kids - took them to Stone Mountain and my daughter climbed it without any help for the first time (and no complaining either).  My first chance to run was after 8 tonight after mexican dinner and a couple adult drinks.  But I got in some miles and actually felt like running for once.  Maybe I'm a night runner.

felt really good this morning when I woke up.  I even went to the store and library before I ran at 8:30.  The run was nice and strong.  A chilly morning - felt good.
