AM 73/100% 5 Easy miles, up and out early for work. Trying to clear the mind... 

PM- 85ish- 8.2 Miles w/8x800 (400 recoveries)  6:35, 6:36, 6:40, 6:41, 6:52, 6:41, 7:40, 7:23 - as you can tell I was getting tired and thirsty, those last recoveries were pretty dog slow too. I really just wanted to stretch the legs since Saturday did not go as planned.

It's going to be a long week of work.

good luck with work this week...

Ham- Well I will attempt to register, but if there is the same crowd that registered last year I won't likely make it with my current time. I hope to better it with my next marathon, but training is not as responsive as I had hoped.

Allie- Thanks, I will take it.

I missed out on registering last year because I ran Las Vegas in Dec., but I have a friend that said some people took the day off work and tried to register and couldn't get in. I'm sorry to hear your training is being responsive. I haven't run into that lately, but I've been there before. Have tried anything to recharge the batteries yet? When is your next marathon?
