I was on my own today as Meg's knee has been bothering her a bit again so she decided stay home and do some yoga/stretching.  I don't seem to run as well on my own and today's run was no exception.  Had a hard time maintaining the pace I was hoping for and the legs just didn't feel fresh.  I know I am just getting back into it from an injury and this has been a relatively heavy week so far by my standards so I guess the tired legs are somewhat expected.  Overall I am happy with the run but if I were running the marathon today it would be a very long day.  Tomorrow it will be tough to get my run in but I will try when I get home from father and sons.  I guess this next week will be a bit of a cut back week to try and let the legs freshen up for Ogden.  I did throw in one mile today at 7:40 pace and it felt too hard, not real encouraging for running some 7:26 miles at Ogden next week.

Good consistent runs for the week. I hope you were able to get a run in on Saturday. I can't believe the marathon is only in 1 week. Keep plugging away.
