This is becoming a Monday habit - I slack and don't get in all my miles.  At least when I did run I felt great.

got out before lunch for an easy warmup for the day - shooting for a tempo later today

4 @ 7:01 ave pace

later - before getting the child from chess club

1 to the track - 1 warmup on the track

7 tempo miles @ 5:55 ave pace

However I had to stop and grab a drink of water after 3, 5, and 6 - so I'm not sure what to take from today.  This was supposed to be the culmination of all the tempo runs this training cycle, where the clouds part and GOD gives me the big thumbs up for the race next Saturday.  Unfortunately that didn't happen.  I never felt comfortable like I did last week.  Of course it was 80 today with a moderate breeze at times and last Thursday it was more like 65.   I won't complain too much because the pace was even despite the short breaks.  Chalk a check mark in the done box for this tempo run.  I do have a 5 mile one next week at a slightly slower pace, so I don't need to worry about it as much.

ran 4.2 after work - 6:46 ave pace =- felt a lot better than this morn.  Didn't have all the time so the miles are short - oh well

LAst night we went to a pre-opening night of a friend's new restaurant.  They practice running the place and for that you get free food albeit very slow food.  Too much soy sauce in it -- but I ate it cause i was starving.   So I'm bloaty today.  Not happy about that.
