felt pretty good but my legs feel heavy and sloggy.  Trying to run straight and tall and upright.

This was an absolutely s*cky run.  I hated pretty much every minute of it.  My legs felt achy and heavy and I had no energy.  Other than that everything was great.  

I cut it short by a mile cause I had no desire to keep going.  I was a struggle to even go that far. Not sure what the deal is really.

deciding if I should take the day off or not  - I think I need it for some reason.

got out around 8:45 this morning.  last week was around 90 min so I wanted to do about 120 min today.  Waited until the last minute to leave so I was about 8 min short of 120.  Even split out and back route.  Some good long hills in it.  Not fast by any stretch but I really just wanted on the feet time today.

88 deg today for the first run - it kicked me around a bit today.  I need to get in lots of heat miles to get prepped for the ultra in SC at the end of next month.  

4 slow miles  

an hour later - after a meeting, I did another 4 at about the same pace - but I paced it out so no walking...

89 deg and sunny today

Felt ok - my left ankle is a little sore this week but it goes away after a few miles.   Maybe it is the slower miles.  Sometimes I think that is what makes it hurt - for example it always gives me fits after an ultra with the slow miles.

got out for 4 - ankle felt ok by the end

tried to go out in the evening for another set and I just couldn't do it.  I don't know what happened.  I took three days off and it feels worse than it did on Thursday.   This stinks - big time.  Not what I need right now.
