My 20 cost me $5 is shoewear in addition to the race fee and gas to get there, hmmm. This is starting to add up. You made it to the beach after your long run with only the traffic lights holding you up.

It makes you do all sorts of crazy things - like calculate the cost per mile for shoes.<BR/><BR/>The beach sounds wonderful and just what you needed.<BR/><BR/>I agree with 21st Century Mom - you might have the funk and need a few recovery days. <BR/><BR/>You'll snap back soon.

Maybe what you need to do is take a couple days off and recover. Just a thought. I know you took a day or 2 off because you were sick but that is not the same thing. You just need to let your muscles spend some quality time building a few more fibres and I swear your pace will recover. Maybe the heat will break, too.21stCenturyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370504811536749950noreply@blogger.com
