my side was hurting today and I can't breathe right- I have to take shallow breaths or the pain is kind of sharp.  It was getting better towards the end of last week, but I did a lot of gardening on Sunday and I made it worse again...I don't know what I did when I fell last week but I'm mad that it still hurts.  plus my watch strap broke so I had to keep it in my pocket for the run.  oh well  - more of the same for a crappy start to the running year.

 wanted to do 4 tonight but wife had to go straight to a meeting and will be home late.  I'll just watch some spongebob I guess. 

8 miles - 7:24 ave pace.

At lullwater I started doing 1 min at 5K or faster (no feel for pace anymore) and then took 1 min at regular pace.  I did this for the next 3.45 miles.  Only took an extra one min on the jog once.  I really was dragging at the end..
had to cut it short by a street - late out of a meeting. 

This is my first speedwork - as much as it was anyway - of the year.  

7.5 @ 6.54 ave pace

squeezed in another 4.2 tonight before Jazz night - 6:47 ave pace - felt good I guess.  I still can't breath fully but I'm dealing with it.  :)

10 at 7:05 ave pace-  this didn't feel that fast but maybe the route was flatter than normal.  Either way I was just cruising along.  done for the week!
