Was quite tired today from yesterdays hills so only ran in the am.  Thought I'd try to pick up more likes tomorrow.

This morning my legs are still feeling a bit tree trunkish.  I guess I really put all out on those hills!  It felt good at the time but my recovery time has been slow.  Maybe this afternoon my legs will feel better.  This morning's splits:  11:59, 11:17, 11:27, 11:09, 12:00

did another 5.31 in the afternoon.

One of those days. Intended to do 6 to 8 miles but took a pretty good spill at about half a mile into the run. Skinned my thighs, knees, and hands pretty good.  Still kept on running for about another 3 miles, but my knees really started bothering me, so, I decided to stop and give my knees a break.  Listen to your party Barb.

It was a semi-cool morning but as the clocked ticked by it warmed up quite a bit.  Survived another long tropical run.  a/p was 11:34.  One more long run before the Boston!  I'm excited!

Took it nice and easy this morning.  Calves were a bit stiff and soar.  After warming up a bit did some stretching and that helped.  May try to run a bit this evening too.  We shall see.

Went nice and easy as I'm feeling like my body wants to get sick.  Didn't want to push it.
