OBJECTIVE 8 mi. @ 8:15 ACHIEVED 8.03 mi.@8:30/mi 4:18 AM 71F 85% 3mph The air was very heavy this morning. There were low clouds covering an almost full moon. I figured the clouds were impeding air flow and raising the humidity. This appears true with humidity at 85%. After the run, I was surprised to see the temperature at 71! Anyway, the only things heavier than the air were my legs! I dont't know if this was from the hills and pace of Saturday's run, the cumulative effect of recent runs (shouldn't be), or less than optimal sleep and nutrition over the weekend. Oh, wait, there's some job related stress at the moment too. Whatever the cause(s), I wasn't feeling it this morning. After a warm up mile, I pressed the second mile to an unimpressive 8:11 then just faded up from there over the remaining 6 miles. I thought a lot about the marathon and also about work. I came up with some answers for work issues but seem to be chasing my tail about the marathon strategy/reality....
