I know that I need to be adding in another day of running to get up to necessary mileage of real training. I think I will add in another day next week and see how that goes. Right now it's about taking it easy. So, since I'm trying to stay in shape without over doing it, I decided that my Thursday run would be 3.5 miles. After all I had the great 5 on Tuesday.
I went to work a bit early to get out to have quality time with my friend Rachel. This schedule pushed me to about an 830 pm run. Not so bad considering the temps cool down in the evening. Well, some how the systems were out of whack. My head wasn't in it and neither was my body. I'll spare you the details but a run after two bean tacos just doesn't bode well with the gut :) It was an ok run. Not great. Not memorable. Not a total waste of time. Just so so.
I think part of it was not realizing how sore my legs still were from weights on Tuesday. I am going to have a hearty stretching session tonight and work out the kinks.
This weekend's long run: 7 miles.

Re-read July 25. There are good days, and bad days, and so-so days. Sometimes you can connect them to what you ate, how you slept, what you listend to, if the dog seemed to like you that day, or how Hillary was feeling, but other times it seems completely random. I can tell you the more you run, the better your chance of a "good" run later, especially if its in some way "easier" than what you normally do. But on the whole, there are days when after 1 mile you question why anyone would ever run, when they have a perfectly good car! :) But if you do figure out a formula to predict good days form bad, cut me in for 50%, beacuse there's a lot of money to be made!
