Monday’s run felt pretty good, but seemed to run long by the last two miles.
Proof than I do not control my pace well on an "easy run". – Tuesday’s run was nice because it was outside, but I did not keep my pace under control, and probably canceled out its effect as an easy run. Started with outside foot pain (3 out of 10). Knees, back, and hip felt tight (4 out of 10).
Tried to run a 4 mile tempo run @ 7'26" pace yesterday. Ran out of gas @ 0.8 miles. 8’38″ pace for 6 miles. Knees, back, and hip felt tight again (4 out of 10).
Legs still need recovery, but pain is diminishing this morning.
I have lodging for the Hatfield McCoy Marathon… haven’t registered for it yet.

I have the speed to run 6'30" intervals, but I'm still hesitant to push for a sub-9 pace long......

- Happy National Running Day #twit2fit Storms were rolling in this morning when I'd normally venture outside, so I hit the treadmill in the basement for 6 miles in 58:30 (9'45"/mile). After the double runs yesterday (4.6 in the morning and 5.6 in 87 degree weather at lunch), this was a pretty rough run. I can......
