Lead Legs & Sleepy Feet

This morning's 4 miles was a challenge.  For the first 2 miles, my legs were so heavy it was hard to stay on task.  For the second 2 miles, my foot was falling asleep/numb on and off.  I failed to properly stretch yesterday after my run. I was so hot, tired, and thirsty that I just hopped in the car and headed home.  Today, I took the time to stretch out my legs.  Yesterday, I also failed to work out the soreness in my feet with the golf ball.  I knew when I got out of bed and my foot already hurt I was in for a rough run.  My overall time was slower than I liked.  But I got it done.  I walked more than I planned to but still less than half (I think). Tomorrow is the biggest run I have done so far - 6 miles.  I am thinking I will do it after work. If I try to squeeze it into my morning, I think I would have to leave the house at 5:15.  That does not sound like fun.  But then I would have it done and not need to worry about it. Another plus is that it will be cooler outside at 5:30 am than 7 pm.  I think I just talked myself into doing my 6 miles at 5:15 am. Time to shower & get my Sunday chores done!
