This week has been a struggle for some reason. I think I started too fast today, knowing that I only had to do 5 and half to reach my goal for the week. Did the same route as Wednesday, but by four miles was feeling like throwing in the towel. As soon as I had safely passed my goal for the week (and month) I stopped and walked the last three quarter mile back to work.

Hard to believe that a month ago I was routinely doing twice this distance without much trouble. Hopefully this is just a phase that will pass, and not old age suddenly descending. On the bright side, even after slowing down for the second half, this is the fastest pace I've maintained in quite a while.
