Training Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 35:29
Pace: 8:52 min/mi

Comments: Another unintended week-long layoff. Most of it due to work demands but I deliberately skipped the weekend long run to get some long overdue writing done. I've found post-run exhaustion makes me worthless for creative activity. So I was productive, just not in terms of running.

Today's effort was very smooth and uneventful. Good time. Good effort. I've still got the strength, but conditioning is the bigger question. With a half-marathon set for this weekend, not knowing that is something of a concern.
