OFF - Feeling it from these past 2 weeks - probably the highest volume of higher intensity mileage I have ever done.

AM: recovery run outside.  Had the day off work today.  The weather was decent, but more bad stuff coming for the weekend.  From house over to papa johns across town to pick up my car.  Didn't even think about it until I got over to the people trail, but ran the last half of tomorrow's 5k course en route.  Only had one honk today - I wore some short shorts and the bright yellow 2013 Boston shirt today.

6.53 mi. - 50:30

AM 5k run across town.  Course is a slow course every year - lots of sharp turns, a couple sneaky hilly sections and a 180 turn around.  WU by running most of the course (and almost missed the start - my strides at the end got me to the start line at the middle Natl Anthem!) Pace was very even, but the effort level was much different throughout.  Also, there are usually about 7 or 8 faster guys (and girls) that show up for this race.  Also, a faster Quaff Team member made this race the third of 3x5k race.  Even with that, he still was only about 10 seconds back.  Lead from start to finish.  The last mile and finish is a difficult little upgrade:

5:42, 5:45, 5:46, 0:49 for 0.14mi. - 18:02 for 5k

CD running most of the course again.

PM: 56 degrees outside!  Meant to do this this morning after race: WU 2 miles with the dog, 2x3mi. MP -  19:53, 19:29 w/ 0.5mi. mod. rec., CD jog.  8.64 mi. total - 1:01:22
