Ran the cable bill out, so I did the normal run backwards and really slow.

I felt good today.  I did 2 "fast" miles and I felt strong while doing them, like I could have gone faster for longer.  I really needed the boost of confidence.

The 2 fast miles were 8:10 and 7:46.

I felt okay, but not great on this run.  It was a slow day. 

I ran past a house with a bunch of kids playing outside and right before I ran by a little one fell off his scooter.  He was crying and I asked him if he was okay--I wanted to make sure his mommy was home.  He and his little sister started crying and ran away like I was some kind of monster.  It's kind of sad the way we condition our children.  On one hand, it's good to be cautious (and I'd probably want my kids to be leery too), but on the other hand, I'm one of their neighbors (I live just 2-3 blocks away and run past their house all the time).  What a world we live in.

Felt sluggish today. Squeezed in a quick run in the middle of cleaning house!

Feeling like I'm not ready for 6 days a week yet. Maybe next week. We'll see how I feel about that tomorrow.

Spring in Illinois is strange.  I awoke to the rumbling of thunder.  I patiently waited for it to subside, but every time I thought it was done, I'd hear another peal.  Finally, after 2 hours of being dressed and ready, I deemed it safe enough to run.  I abandoned my plans to run in the country (still pavement, but less boring) and decided to stay close to home and run the mile backwards and forwards.

A slow drizzle accompanied the first 3 miles, then a downpour started.  For some reason, the rain made it easier to run.  I think it's because all this week I've been running during the peak of the heat.  I was discouraged after Wed and Thurs--the humidity sapped my strength. 

Today's run was good though.  Nice and easy.  I finished in a little over 56 min.
