i believe i'm going to have to settle for 4 runs most weeks in this season of the year. there's just too much on the go. i had to miss yesterdays 16 because of rare yet chronic back pain. anyway, it just means that i have to make each run count. really, i just didn't feel like running for more than 2 hours today, so i tried to squeak this one out, and did, just under the wire. felt tired, but not exhausted. 6 weeks to boston.
