It was 61 degrees so I just had to go out for a few recovery miles.  I felt really no issues after the long run yesterday.  

 4.2 miles in around 7:20 pace

tempo day - 4 miles this week

 I took it out too fast - more like 10k race pace- oh well.

turns out i don't know how to work a lap counter on a stop watch...I know the first was right, that's about it.  
1st - 5:56 ( hit it once at first mile)
13:05 ( hit it again at the turnaround which is a little past mile 2)
14:02 ( hit is at mile 3)
4:20 ???? (hit another lap and stopped it at mile 4).         

 stopped it at the end and it said 24:19 -  ave pace 6:05 I guess.  I have now idea what those split times mean though.

I wanted to go out at 11 this morning but my boy got sent home sick from school, so I went out after they got some supper.  It messed with my food planning but it all worked out a bit.  

I felt good.  I was a little tired but that is what happens at the end of the day...
the weather is nice today - trying to rain and abuot 70.  :)
I did the same route as last week with the .75 mile steep hill.  Last week the big hill kicked my butt and i paid for it afterwards, but tonight there was some payback.  I just kept going and going.

It is a really good weather this morning for running.  I got out nice and early for me - 7AM.  My legs were creaky the whole way and it wasn't easy.  But I kept them moving and actually managed a nice negative split without really trying to do so.  
Just took my water bottle with water

lI had lots of energy - had mexican for dinner last night  :)
1:08:25 at the turnaround 

18 miles 7:31 pace  - just looked at the same run last year at this time - it was nearly exactly the same pace 7:33- weird
