Got a late start this morning due to Labor Day sleep in! Went to YMCA to run the 8 mile route. Legs are feeling the accumulation of miles. Last week was my highest weekly mileage ever and, with today's 8-miler, the past 3 days are my highest 3-day mileage ever.

It was a nice day to run. The temperature was warm but not unbearable and the humidity was lower than what I usually experience during my early morning runs.

I'll probably take an ice bath later today then take the day off tomorrow before getting a "big workout" on Wednesday.

I'm happy with how I've been feeling the past 10 days. I'm sure the training consistency is a big part of how I'm feeling. Not only does consistency offer physical benefit but it builds mental toughness and confidence. Just need to maintain the trend for 33 more days.
