Great run this morning.  Nice, cool weather.  57o with 89% humidity.

First mile was slow for a warm up.  My watch wasn't keeping mileage, so I had to stop after I got to the point where I knew 1 mile was, and then I started my watch over again.  It worked fine the rest of the time.  My pace was around 9:30 for miles 2-5.  It was a 9:17 for mile 6.  I didn't see the average for the last .44, but it was probably around the same speed.

Tomorrow is a tempo run, so I just ran comfortable today.  The top of my foot is still sore when my shoe ties down on it.  I've loosened it up as much as I can.  I even tried tying the shoes in a different way.  Maybe it's just sore and needs to heal.  It'll have to wait till taper week I guess.

I went to bed at 7 last night because I was frustrated at nearly everyone in the world.  Sleep seemed like the best way to not go around offending people.  It was nice to get some extra rest, but I still needed a 15 min nap this morning after my run. 

On a happier note, I found an old Lindor truffle this morning as I was rummaging around for garlic.  I don't know how old it is, or where it came from, but I'm enjoying it :-)

Congratulations on your great run. I'm glad you had such a good run today.

Also, it's great that you were able to go to bed early last night. Definitely the right thing to do.

And the truffle was a nice surprise!

mmmm...truffles! That is the stuff of life: having a bad day, getting to bed early, a good run, then finding hidden candy! Today can't be much worse than yesterday...it's already better! Your karma came back to you in the form of a truffle :)
