Well, my ankle was sore today, but not THAT sore.  So I did my slated 7 miles for the day.  I went easy and enjoyed listening to a talk show on my IPOD. Good to keep up with what's going on in the world!  Here are my splits:

very tiring run for me today.  Did have a partner except for the last 3 miles.  It was hot and humid and generally just miserable!  Was so, so wiped afterwards as well.  The temp was between 85 and 90 and the humidity was probably around 70%.

12:10, 11:10, 10:52, 11:15, 11:25, 10:52, 11:18, 10:53, 10:43, 10:01, 9:29, 9:34, 10:06

So can you tell when I had someone to run with?

Another nice run for a Saturday.  My running partner was back in town so that helped so much!  Amazing how a running buddy can help pass the time while running.  I ALWAYS have a faster time when I run with someone.

Good run today.  Felt much better today.  Might have run my last mile too hard, but someone pushed me!

Was a tired bum today.  Ran the first 3 and walked the last 1.  Can say one thing for certain...I'm sleeping really good these days!

I did not want to run this afternoon.  I was so exhausted and it was hot and humid outside and I needed to start my run at 4:30pm when it's still warm.  But, because I know my training partner is running...I did run.  The first 4 progressively got better and the last 4 I had a running buddy that gave me some good negative splits.

Good run today.  Felt good through out the run.  My left calf started pulling a bit at about mile 13, but at mile 14 we picked up the pace and I finished well.

Ran in the evening as tomorrow was not possible.  Good run, but started out very, very tired.  After mentally adjusting to the long run, things settled down.  But, going the full 16 was a mental challenge.  I've just been really tired lately.
