<p>Ten miles on TM, 85 minutes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is kind of strange because I got up early this AM but was so stiff and creaky you couldn't pay me to go outside and run.</p>
<p>So at noon, I was in a kind of fatalistic mode, and set the TM for 8:27 pace and told myself, "just go run until you can't".</p>
<p>But I ended up feeling better as the run went on, and even when I quit I felt like I had a lot left. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Guess I never will understand this running stuff.</p>

<p>Bob, some morning's are just like that - more to do with age than running IMO.</p>
<p>6 miles planned for this evening if I ever get released from the office!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Happyfeat is correct.   I'm always creaky especially in the morning.  But a mile or two and rust is gone.  It is easier however to run later</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Switched my 9 miler for 7 tonight and will run 9 tomorrow.   Nice and easy does it.   Have a killer workout Thursday and then it's pretty much hold on till race day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hang in there kickstars</p>

<p>Well I had a fun run this evening...ended up doing a "wave run" without planning or monitoring it. Just ran to relax and shake off the day's aggravations. Ended up with a warmup mile at 11; followed by alternating 10:30 and 10 mpm miles just about on the dot. Quite jazzed about that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Back to Bob's post, something else I've noticed over the past year as I've run more miles than I have in the past: Previously, if I had to get up in the middle of the night, I'd limp stiffly to the "powder room" Now I'm running <span style="text-decoration:underline;">more</span> miles, I'm not longer gimpy in the middle of the night. Wierd, huh? My legs may still not be ready to run first thing in the morning, but I think I've gotten some of the other bugs worked out with better conditioning.</p>

<p>Nice monday runs everybody.  Tomorrow will be my first running day this week.  I did an eliptical until I can't go any farther workout yesterday and made it</p>
<p>50 minutes.  Today was an 80 minute sweatfest at a little slower pace.  No way could I do those workouts running without getting injured. </p>
