I got in a few this afternoon before my meetings started.  The day off yesterday was a good thing for my legs.  They felt pretty good today.  

4.6  - 7:28 pace

 I'll have to run after cub scouts tonight.  Hopefully I get that done. 

Evening run  - got in another bit after cub scouts. Felt good and cruised along.

ZERO desire to run today....

went towards the track -- but when I arrived, they were having a college soccer game, so I had to miss the planned track workout.  I went and wandered around for a while.. 

I'm tired now.

Managed two runs today.  I felt ok at work on good at home.  For some reason sitting and working on a computer all morning makes me sluggish and makes the lunchtime run hard.  Imagine that... :)

The 2nd run of a day is almost always easier and feels good.  I guess because the muscles are loose and the energy pathways are warmed up.  At least that's what I think :)

My legs were tired from yesterday's runs.  I guess I didn't eat enough this morning and I really had no pep at all.  I had to stop to collect myself right before the 3 mile mark.  I just about turned around and bagged the run, but I pressed on and just kept plugging away at it.  It wasn't pretty and it was't fun but I finished.

I had Mexican for dinner last night again -  a big rice and bean burrito.  So I had plenty of energy for my long run this morning.  I just took a little water on the run.
I felt better than I did last Saturday.  My legs were much more fresh.  1:15:40 at the half - a bit of a negative split.  2:28:32 total. 
You can't beat the low 70's and overcast for training at this time of year.
