I felt groggy yesterday because I didn't run.  I feel much better today after my wake up run.

I headed out on a route that has a good size hill and didn't have definite plans on which way I was heading.  I decided to go into a park that has a loop through the woods.  I got on the loop and discovered another loop that branched off of it.  What a find!  It was secluded, looped around a lake, and had Porta Johns! (I'm always looking for those) .   There was a couple looping around the lake and the woman was pushing a double stroller with 2 little ones it (I thought of you RAD).

Didn't run yesterday and wish I would have.  Ran this morning just enough to get my blood flowing and get to work on time.  Felt great!  Hard to believe my race is only 3 days away.  Guess I'll go eat some carbs!

My legs are still sore today.  Tomorrow I'm going to loosen some of the rigor mortis that has set in.

A nice cool morning, clear skies, bright stars.  The 2nd mile was my attempt at a little bit of speed work.
