caught up!

Did my 6 + strides earlier in the evening yesterday than I usually run (since it wasn't too hot out) and then got 5 super easy miles in this morning before work. I am all set to rest and stretch the rest of this evening before hammering out a few faster miles tomorrow during the Run Thru Hell. The best part about this race is the t-shirt, which proudly declares, "I ran thru hell". For those of you who don't know, Hell is actually a very small town here in Michigan, just north of Ann Arbor. I don't just like using obscenities on my blog. well, I do... but that's not my point this time.

Yesterday's run brought back a little bit of speed. I was right around 9:18 average pace, and it felt pretty good. my legs are starting to feel the miles, but it's not as bad as after running all the hills up north, so I'll consider that progress. I also got a solid 8 hours of sleep last night, so that will hopefully help the recovery process too. tonight i'm going to bed eeeeaaaaarly, that's all I gotta say.

ok, off to make some pasta and do some stretching!
