Tough run today. Was able to manage a 7:28 pace through the first 7 miles and then faded off with a couple of cool down miles at around 8:15 pace. Didn't really ever get into a good groove today for whatever reason. Legs felt a little heavy and fatigued. I think a few swigs of Gatorade before the run may have helped but we are out. Still pretty satisfied with the run and the effort but felt like I had to work too hard to go the pace I wanted to go. I do enjoy adding this run to the mix each Thursday as it breaks up the bordem of the same stuff every day.
