Boise, ID 6:30 am

Pace: 8:18

This was a weird morning. I was so tired that I forgot to hit my snooze button. Then I went downstairs to take care of business and nothing happened. Maybe my butt knew that I was 10 minutes early. So there I was all dressed to run, dog tired, and 15 minutes early for my running appointment. I wasn't up for running around the block a few times, so the only thing I could think to do was set the alarm on my cell phone and lay down on the living room floor to sleep till 6:30.

When I did head out the door to meet up with Randy, I was groggy from just waking up and sore from yesterday's long run. We went a little slower this morning -- my fault, but that was all I had in me today. Actually, I expected the pace to be slower than 8:18 so I can't complain.

That's it for this week. I've got the whole famn damily coming into town for the weekend so I'll probably be up flipping pancakes at the crack of dawn Saturday morning. I could use a couple of rest days anyway.

Nice run on tired legs. It's always good to do some type of recovery run the day after your long run, because it will improve fitness. It also teaches your legs to run when their tired. What's your next race?

Thanks Kory. That's good advice. I'll be back East, so I'm going to do the Baltimore Marathon next month. See if I can manage my pace a little better this time.
