Monday - run 5.0 miles

Week Goal - 45+ miles

Ran 5 miles tonite even though I'm a bit under the weather and didn't feel like it. I'm glad I did. I felt good which was the exact opposite of how my legs felt yesterday. Is it possible that I can recover that much with one easy day? Hmmm. Anyway, on my last 1.15 mile loop (of 4) I decided to see what I could do. Came it at a 6.31 pace. I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not. This is the fastest mile I've run since I've been back and technically it was a tad longer than a mile. But, I would like to think a straight mile time would be closer to 6, if not under. That may be a stretch, I don't know. Oh well, a good, solid 5 mile run.

I want another 5 miler tomorrow before I'm off to Colorado for 3 days on the trails. I'm hoping for around 12 miles average for each day.
