Decided to take it easier today so I went with my tues/thurs group for a long run. Ran down the marathon course 13 and then I added an extra mile. Took it easy for most of it and then I wanted to get a little faster turn over on my legs and see how I felt so I took off the last 3 6:42, 6:50, 6:38. My leg felt very good today and my calf has not tightned up like it has been doing after the run. Very muggy today! yuck.. I stopped into a gas station to use the bathroom and I had about 20 black knats all over my face and neck..so gross!

Good job today Marcie. Today was a pretty fast effort for me. Thanks for keeping an eye on me. The blog really helps with keeping me motivated. I hope it does for you too. Keep up the great work.

It was very muggy today I agree but the cloud cover was nice. Glad to hear that you are feeling better. I'm sure you'll kick but next weekend at the Bryce 1/2.
