Comments: The plan was to put in six miles over the weekend but that didn't happen. I was feeling really worn down and took two days off, planning to go on Sunday. But, on Sunday, I felt awful. It turned into my first three-day layoff.
With a race this weekend, putting the long run in today didn't make much sense so I tried a different route for my run. This is an out-and-back run that actually ends up being about 4.7 miles all the way. I just put in four since it was an exploratory effort. Felt pretty good and got under the nine-minute-mile threshold.
