I nearly bailed this AM. I was dragging, as evidenced by my late start time and while getting dressed in the kitchen -- yes, I get dressed down there in the AM in an effort not to disturb the family -- I nearly went back to bed. The blog, and my desire to improve won out. I had intended to do my my 5 mile loop and compromised on a little shorter one. I felt slow, but my pace was pretty good. I moved up a training class on my watch -- I was at 6, but now am at 7. Not entirely sure what it means, I'll research and get back to you. My left hamstring is still somewhat sore, but my quads felt pretty good -- just tired, not sore. I may take the rest of the week off, but I'm going to be on CC again this weekend and wanted to do my 5 mile route down there. We'll see how the legs feel Saturday AM.

I did my short route this AM. It was more for recovery than fitness. I'm a little sore in the quads and hammies but looking to run through it. It will be good for leg strength. Things felt pretty good by the end, though it's all a bit sore/tight right now. I could actually see my breath in places this AM -- it was a little chilly. Fall is coming.
