Ran over to Emory again to watch a few minutes of track night.  Got to see some 400s this time.  Then finished.   Felt strong at the end - a couple low 7s at the end.  

About 2.5 miles in I had a little tug in my left groin area, which is really weird cause I haven't had an issue with that since soccer in high school.  I stopped, made a feeble attempt at a stretch, and then started walking home.  Well that got boring and slow so I jogged it out and it never hurt again -- weird.  I hope that doesn't come back.  I don't need an injury.

just a really crappy run - I was in a hurry - that prob started it.  mp3 player broke and my old phone isn't working as an mp3 player very well.  and it rubs my thigh raw.  then my shoelace came untied.  and this week it just feels like I have to work to breathe.  

3.5 @ 7:46 ave - meant to do 4 but ran out of time 

Felt even less like it later -

nice little run around 2:30 - nice running a day after an off day.  Legs feel strong.  

would like another short one later but maybe won't fit it in today

Got out after making supper.  It was very humid but not that hot, low 70s.  Fighting a little cold I think.  Nothing bad just feel a little weird.  Rained the last mile or so.

well I fell off the running wagon for a few days.  

smacked my knee up really good on Friday-- hardly could walk on Saturday.  should have run Monday eve after driving from NC.  And really should have run yesterday.  BUT I did get out for a nice 5.5 tonight.  

5.5 @ 7:11 - last 1.5 under 7 - too much effort for that pace but it felt good

met JG at Piedmont park.  Ran to their  .5 mile track.  Ran 3x800 and 2x400.  6:30 pace for the 1/2 miles and sub 6 pace for the 400's.  Jogs in between each.  add in warmup and cool down and I get 6.  Would like to do 3-4 more later.  

thanks to JG for getting me out the door today!
