61°f woo hoo !

I got out the house about 9:15pm and it was great weather.  Coolest temps I had run in since the Spring.  It felt good.  The sky was clear and starry with a bright crescent moon.

I really did not feel like doing any type of workout tonight.  I finally got to sleep at 12pm.  I had been awake for 20 1/2 hours.  I slept for 5, then went to my brother-in-law's for a birthday party/cookout.  After the kids were asleep I decided to just run very relaxed and in the end I knew I would be glad I ran as opposed to not.  The first mile I could feel the ice cream cake I had had earlier churning in my stomach.  It tasted great by the way.  The Garmin showed I picked up the pace the last three miles without even realizing it.  At 4.5 miles I decided instead of the 5 miles I planned to run I would extend it a little.  In the end I had 6.2 miles. 

The "feeling" in the leg was more prominent last night while working.  It is still not a "pain" and I do not ever want it to be again.  I was already planning on more swimming and biking this week, so I will not have to run as much.  Tomorrow I will use the elliptical.  Looks like a few days running then a few days of something else is what is best for the leg right now.

Run - 6.2 - 8:43, 8:41, 8:34, 8:19, 8:09, 8:14, 1:36 - 52:19 (8:26 avg.)

So far the Redskins are winning the game.  I hope they don't find a way to screw it up.
