I got to sleep in and run in the sunlight!  Happy day!!  Ran from 11-12 in the am.

44o-42% humidity at the start,  47o-38% humidity at the end.  I actually ended up taking off my jacket after 4 miles and ran in just a shirt for the last two.

The first few miles felt really slow and hard.  My times were okay, but it felt like I was running an 11m/m pace.  Maybe tired legs, or maybe just all the junk I've eaten the last 5 days catching up with me.  I did my strength training before running.  Maybe that made a difference. 

After 4 miles, things got easier and I felt like I found my groove. 

Paces were 9:39, 9:15, 9:24, 9:22, 9:07, 8:46, 8:25(for the last .5)

Sleeping in, running in sunshine, finding your groove ... excellent!

I'm thinking of doing strength before running on Wednesday. I'm wondering if that will make it too hard to do a tempo run on Wednesday.

Nice run! Glad you got some time to rest! Now go eat some Christmas cookies, or take yourself out to sizzler :)

I'm glad you found your groove and got to sleep in! I know what you mean about eating too much Christmas junk. I hope you have a good Christmas!
