Hold your horses, I'm livin' large! 6 whole miles to kick off the week. Wow. I nearly didn't make it as my legs are not used to running (I've already lost it) and I needed to walk at 1.5 miles. I kept on going though and once I hit the turn around spot there was no other option but to go home. I hit decent paces for trail running but not road running. Ugh. Time to work on speed.

It seems impossible to me, but I think my body is still recovering from the 52 miles on June 20th. That's the only explanation that makes sense as my legs feel fatigued on every run and I just don't have "it" (whatever "it" is).

Today's run was okay, but after 1 mile I walked for a minute or more. And this is on the route I have run hundreds of times. I've walked during the first two miles maybe a handful of times. It should not be that hard.

4 miles from the Y before work. 63F, 58%; nice weather. Legs sure take a while to warm up - my first mile is always a 9:30 or so. Got feeling better after a mile, then plodded along. The last mile I saw three bouncing ponytails up ahead so I sped up to catch them. It was 3 high school girls who were just out for a morning jog otherwise they surely would have smoked me.
