 I was very tired after the workout.  I ran in the heat of the day...3pm.  Trying to run it tired in preparation for Heartbreak Hill.  Learned that Heartbreak Hill is a 4% grade with a distance of .37 miles.  Need to find a hill maybe a bit longer and not as steep....

This week was a week off for me because I had a close encounter with a hidden rock in the ocean last week Sunday.  My left pinky toe turned a bright red followed by some green and purple and black.  Had it xrayed and it wasn't broken.  Shew.  Now just some rest and get back into the running routine.  A bit sore after the run today, but manageable.  Head for Boston 2 weeks from Tuesday.  Can't believe it.  I'm excited.
