AWESOME, AWESOME run today.  Wasn't sure how I was going to do.  Mentally I was tired and not sure if I could be up for a good run today.  But, it's amazing what having a running partner can do for you!  I was pushed; had fun; and had negative splits!

10:03, 9:33, 9:52, 9:52, 9:45, 9:53, 9:30, 9:32, 9:21, 9:19, 9:15, 8:21

Felt pretty good this morning in that my legs weren't sore or stiff from the weekend run.  I really did feel good this past weekend on my run and I've been doing some thinking.  Bottom line is I really don't know what my body is capable of doing.  When I ran my a/p of 9:30 this past weekend I felt really good and I didn't give 100%.  I still had a lot left.  I was tired but not spent.  The question is was it 70%? 80%? 90%?  I would like to lean toward the 70%, but I just don't know.  I know I should try to do a 5K, but it's just not available to do here in this environment.  We shall see.  Here's today's splits:

11:48, 11:39, 10:50, 11:39 ...  I'm such a bum when I don't have someone to run with!  I'm a social runner!

Must be the Harmatan's that tire me out so much.  I haven't been running with a mask but maybe I need to!  I'll try it tomorrow maybe.  Slow run.  Played tennis in the pm and twisted my ankle a little bit.  We'll see how it feels with my slated 7 miles for tomorrow.
