Some days you have it and some days you don't.  I ran tonight out of guilt.  I ate a bunch of M&M's today and I knew that with each crunchy bite of those red and green candy delights, I would have to make it up.  


My pace was really off tonight, as you can tell.  I ran basically the same mileage that I ran on Wednesday, yet I was almost a minute per mile slower.  I think running with Frontrunners serves as a booster for me.  Tonight I had nothing chasing me but the M&M's on my butt.  


I guess I shouldn't be so hard on myself.  I should be training at different paces for the marathon.  It's not like I expect to run all 26 miles at a sub 8 pace.  


I hope to do a longer run on Sunday.  No less than 8.  Maybe the weather will be nicer.  It certainly was chilly this evening, but at least the wind and rain were not beating me up.


Gracie is happy to see me.  I am all sweaty and cooling down as I type and she is on the bed sucking her monkey.  The life!


Peaceful Running!
