Payback Day!! Finally..what a beatiful day for a run. With the Saturday sickness laying around there were a few things (besides the run) I hadn't accomplished that needed to be done so I decided to take 1/2 day off work.  Went out for a run-in-the-sun and decided to do something I haven't done for a while---just run for fun, don't look at the watch and just enjoy the beatiful day. I was totally pumped by the weather and decided to run down a few roads I've never tried before. This was mostly good but I did sort of get lost for a bit and ended up going a few more miles than planned. But at least this makes me feel better about the missed Saturday run. I did run out of gas pretty good after about 11-12 miles, probably due to lingering effects of flu and not eating much over the weekend (but hey I finally may have finally got rid of one of those holiday xtra pounds!!)

Tried doing my usual Monday treadmill interval workout outside in the nice weather. Thought I felt good at the start but it was quickly obvious I didn't have it going today. I guess (hope?) between the weekend flu and running long on Monday I had no gas in the tank. Ended up averaging about 15 sec/mile slower on my interval pace compared to what I had been doing.

Hopefully next week will be better.

Crosstrain 40 minutes: 20 bike, 20 stairs. I think I'll stick with this routine for another month or so and then replace this workout with another run workout as I start adding 2-a-day and eventually even a few 3-a-day runs to get ready for the relay.

Tried to hold my flat course marathon pace (around 8:00) for most of the run. Was able to get 7 miles between 7:45 and 8:15 and felt pretty good until about mile 9 or so. Hamstrings seem to be getting a little better.
