really trying to get myself out the door today.  I didn't do it yesterday.  Not sure how I was so motivated last week and not this week.  5K on Saturday.  At least my legs should be fresh.

I got out before lunch and left my watch at home.  I just need to go out and run and not worry about my pace in this heat. 

7.25 miles -  7:30-7:45 pace (I guess)

5.9 after work - before getting the kiddies - I really didn't mind the heat that much today.  yea!

no watch again - liked that a lot today

This week I'm just putting my hat as low as it can go and I'm putting one step in front of the other one.  Two rushed runs - but at least got them in -

6.6 - no watch - standard easy run pace

4.2 - no watch - standard easy run pace

really minded the heat today

7.5 @ about 8:00 pace (no watch)

4.7 after work and after fixing the kids some supper. Unfortunately I forgot to eat a pre run snack and I kind of bonked...7:50 pace or something like that. 

Not a great day for pace.  Tomorrow I'm just doing one short run in the morning so my legs will be kind of fresh for Saturday.

5K day  - Last year I went out pretty hard and the last 1.5 miles were red lined.  This year I made a conscious decision to not go out too hard and then have something left at the end for the last mile or so.  I executed perfectly, but it wasn't a good idea.  I know better. 

mile 1 - 5:54

mile 2 - 12:00 ?

3.1 - 18:36

6:00 ave pace

Very disappointed by my effort today.  I ran scared of a flame out.  That's not a good way to run a 5K.
