It was good to get back in town and run with the group this morning. I didn't have high expectations for this run due to spending my day on airplanes yesterday and getting limited sleep and poor nutrition over the past week. I was glad to be running this distance with others. Today's edition included: Stephanie, Augie, Jonathan, Randy, Josh and me. After about 6 miles, Steph, Augie and Jonathan broke it off and headed back to the park. Randy, Josh and I continued on. The pace felt harder than it should have but I was happy to get it done.

"Every runner's greatest opponent is the wall--the wall of fatigue, that is. The goal of training is to push the wall of fatigue by increasing the maximum pace one can sustain from the start line to the finish line of a race. The goal of race execution is to actually run as fast as possible without hitting the wall before reaching the finish line. It's that simple." -------> Matt Fitzgerald <-------

Arrived in Philadelphia last night. Caught the Phillies game which was a very good one. Jimmy Rollins hit a 3-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to when the game. Going to the afternoon game later today.
Our hotel is in Essington which is near the airport. Got this 6-miler in this morning from the hotel. It was humid but not as much as at home. Run near some waterway part of the way. Also run on a road with some very tall grass (+10') on either side. It was like running through a tunnel. Eerie and interesting at the same time ....

Yes, Sunday is typically my rest day. Yes, my body needs the rest. However I'm not sure how my schedule is going to work out over the coming week so I figured I better get it while I can.
Felt okay this morning once I loosened up.
