After my LR on Saturday I was completly beat the whole day. Yesterday, Sunday, I still didn't feel very good. I really think I had a little heat stroke (or close to it) on that run.

Today I was just going to try and make it through 10 miles and had an out for just 6.5 if I didn't feel good. My body was just a little achy when I started but I was actually supprised how good I felt. After the third mile (which has a pretty good hill) I dediced to actually make a run out of this. The results turned out pretty good with about half of my miles coming in at my MGP.

Psalm 118:6-9 

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The Lord is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.

Great job. Feeling decent after 3 miles is a nice surprise. You must have needed the day to recover Sunday. BTW, I have never trusted Prince (or the man formerly referred to as Prince). He just seems shady.

Tom,

Much better than Saturday's run! I agree on the Prince opinion. :-)

You've got me by 3 miles!
