I ran out to GU Corner and then back to the house, when I was close to home I decided to tack on a few more miles so I ran out to the old barn on canal road and then back to the house. The pace was upbeat at times and then slow at times, my last mile was sub 8 minutes so I will count that as MP.  My average pace was 8:39 with my total time at 1:27:05, for the most part I felt okay but when I would stop I would start hacking pretty good and since I finished I have been hacking like crazy! Dang cold! The knot in my right calf was still there but didn't really show up until 5 or 6 miles and then it just kind of stayed the same. I feel like I am recovering from the marathon fine, 3 weeks to the day and everything is feeling pretty dang good, other than the freaking cold that I have been dealing with the last week! I am hoping I can get a full week of running in next week so I can start building my base mileage up.

Its my Stepson Masons farwell tomorrow and then he enters the MTC on Wednesday, with that said I have a lot to do today so I guess I better get going!

See ya Monday
