Did a relaxed 4 before getting my daughter from school.  Need to find another 30 min or so to do another round.  Either it will be during gymnastics or after cubscouts tonight, hopefully.  Really smashed my little toe by accident on a door frame last night.  Luckily my shoes are big enough that it doesn't hit.  It is still very tender...

I felt heavy and my legs are really tight, but the run was actually ok.  I'm not sure what the deal is.

Day for some speed stuff - I ran the two miles to the Y 4 miler race route and then did that course than ran home.  For the speed stuff, I did

1 min fast >1 min regular pace>2 min fast>1 min regular pace

then repeated for the 4 miles

8.1 miles @ 6:37 ave pace

Thought this Flotrack interview with the famed coach, Jack Daniels had some good advise about being an optimist:

got in a pre-lunch run - had some stomach cramps in the first couple miles, but they worked themselves out somehow.  Otherwise my legs felt strong  and strides were long (for me anyway).

Ran another one after work.  Took it a bit easier this time.,
