JRP with Kellie and Karen at 5:30am.  57 degrees.  We headed north for 9 miles (so hilly and felt like garbage), then headed south for the last 5 miles.  I was really diligent on my fueling and salt pills. I felt REALLY good on the last 5 miles.  Today is my 47th birthday.

Out/back on MCT - 63 degrees. I worked all day at USS and felt 1000% drained (physically and emotionally).  I wanted to do some speedwork.  Drinking fountain sprints, but didn't time.  Just picked up my speed.  Legs still felt heavy.  At mile 5, I started to feel my left arch hurt.  I took off my shoes, rubbed it and didn't tie my laces tight.
