Thursday, Friday, Saturday

Had an OK steady state run on Thursday...temp about 90 degrees.  Feels good on the legs but not on the lungs.  Averaged about MGP but it felt like tempo pace.  No complaints about the temperature.
Took Friday off (as usual).  Surprisingly tired.  2 hour nap in the afternoon when I should have been riding Riley.  Oh well.
Did not want to get up on Saturday.  Could hear the wind howling outside.  Did only 14 miles as my L foot was more sore than usual and I essentially hit the wall at mile 12.  Team aspect came into play today.  After 4 miles with the fast crew, I slowed up and waited on Tara who had gotten dropped a few miles back.  We ran together the rest of the way.  At mile 12 I told her to go ahead as I was feeling like laying in the ditch and taking a nap.  She stuck by my side and kept me moving for the last few miles.  Thanks Tara.
Got home and took a 30 min soak in the tub - almost fell asleep and then slept for 2 hours.  Feeling better now but have a new pain in my right calf.  Will attend to my legs tonight.
