Sunday I got up at 4:50 to help get ready for the start of work on Monday. I ran 6 miles in 51:03, 7.0 mph. I felt tired but the run felt good.
Monday I got up at 3:15 AM and arrived at work for 3:50. I worked 4-10AM and then went home and went to bed for 2 hours. I got up and ran 5 miles in 41:06, 7.3 mph. When I laid down my legs felt like I should take the day off but I got up and felt fresh.
Tuesday I got up at 3:10; both days I had everything ready to go clothes, coffee, "lunch" and breakfast. I spent the first hours unloading a tractor trailer. I went home and laid down for 21/2 hours and got up and ran 8 miles in 1:07, 7.2 mph.
Today my legs were a little tired. I had the day off from work, but I had to take a mid-term online. After that I ran 4 miles in 34:21, 7.0 mph. A women stopped me in her car to ask directions; she spoke through a plastic tube in her neck. Makes me appreciate all that I have including my health.
I'll take Thursday and Friday off and I'm getting a massage tomorrow afternoon. It may rain early before the marathon but the temperatures sound perfect; 55-65 F.
