I was out the door at 5:30 am and then headed out to the riverbottoms I was able to run my two mile loop down in there and then I ran the river trail for a little two mile loop just exploring... My legs were not as chipper today as they were two weeks ago when I ran 17 miles, I seem to be more tired at the end as apposed to two weeks ago when my pace quickened towards the end of the run. It could be that I'm still not fully recovered from my cold and the fact that I have only run 3 times this week, I'm sure that combination probably didn't help. My average pace today was 8:40 compared to two weeks ago it was sub 8:30, its still not bad but it was way harder today than it was two weeks ago. My total time was 2:36:34 with my HR average at 145, so a little difference I did have one VPB again, boy I'm getting sick of those! I'm glad I was able to get in the run today and I hope I have a better week of running next week and I hope I won't have to miss any days.

See ya Monday

Nice job today Bro. You are really getting in some good long runs.

Thanks Bro! That was a good long run you did down in Vegas... It's really hard when things heat up.
