Wow, I am really, really tired.  Between my cold and eating lots of candy yesterday (and not much else), I just felt sluggish all run.  Ran 2.25 miles to Paul's house, then ran around RH/Prov with Logan, Cody, and Paul (plus Cody's mini-clones).  Slow pace.  Dropped off Paul at planet fitness, then ran Cody to Paul's.  Logan and I then ran up to his in-laws by the cemetary at a bit faster pace.  By this point I was really tired.  I know that you get the most gain when you are tired but still push it at the end of a long run.  So, I picked up the pace even more on the way home.  Ran to the cemetary to stop by the grave of my aunt (who died last week) to give my respects.  4 of my great grandparents and an uncle are also buried there.  Then ran ~5 miles home at increasing pace (and increasing tiredness).  Clocked 1/2 mile through the island at 3:32- felt like 7:30 pace, so I was happy to see I was still moving along.  Last mile was a 6:29, after which I was spent.  Bed by 9 pm tonight, which will be a record for probably 10 years.  I thought I did 16.5 to 17 miles, but I plotted it very carefully on mapmyrun.com (difficult, since we went everywhere) and it came in at 17.51.  Glad to hear it was longer than I thought.

Bedtime right now.  I do have to say, I am jealous of all the 2-a-day guys.  Cody got 17 miles in 2 runs, and I guarantee it was a lot easier than my run.  Oh well.  Glad I slogged through this run.

Way to stick through it. I'm really getting excited for the Strider's 1/2. Wish I was going to be there to cheer you all on...
