4:30 came too early this morning.  My legs didn't want to run very fast.  I was terribly slow, but just kept going.  I think I finally got warmed up around mile 5.

I used MR's garmin since mine disappeared Saturday.  He has different settings on his, so I couldn't gauge my pace very well.  I felt like I was putting in a 9:30 effort, but all that came out was a 10:00.  I was just happy to get the miles in!

Just before I left for work, the good luck fairy called me!  He sounded a lot like MR.  He said that he found my watch in MR's combat boots.  I'm not sure how it ended up in the boots.  I'd taken the watch off and driven to the store before he joined me and took off his boots.  I'm just so happy to have it back, I wasn't going to look at good-luck fairy in his lucky spot!

I'd brought clothes to walk in after school, but I may just go home and fix dinner.

YAY! Glad the good luck fairy found you. Maybe he saw you running by the blue trailer with it on and wanted a double take :)

Don't be too hard on yourself about the pace. 4:30 is SO early and you had just done 18 good miles Saturday. Great recovery run! Hope dinner was good.
