am--5 The golden arches to green valley. I wanted to run this evening but my guts said no. I'll probably be pretty ornery this week because it's already looking like running time is getting the squeeze midweek.

am--5 first morning run where I could see my breath the whole time, and my legs never quite lost the chill. But it felt nice due to the absence of wind. Ran with Adam, Larry, Bono, and The Edge. Bono sings the whole dang time.

pm--7  Reverse loop around clary w/ the graveyard hill. Averaged in the 8s the whole run.

pm--8 Up to the roundabout on the parkway and back. Cardiovascularly, I know I'm improving, and my legs seem to have a life of their own, pulling me along. Running is paying off.

am--13 Second time I've ever run 13 miles at one time. I probably ran this a few weeks too soon. On top of that, I packed a lot of miles--by my standards--into the last 3 days. My legs never loosened up, and the fatigue in my quads made this run hard from the very beginning, particularly with the incline at the first half of this run. This little anecdote sums my run up well. About halfway through my run, I fell in behind a woman jogging. She was probably in her 50s. She was running at a pretty good pace, and, deep down inside of me, there is a little runner who wanted to catch her. But in the end my fatigue and her constant pace broke me. This run, however, was a nice excursion. I love being outside. And, towards the end of my run, I visited my great grandparents grave. On a positive note, I can see and feel my body adapting to the increased workload, and, other than the fatigue, I felt no injuries on this run.
