5.5 before bed.  slow run but felt decent.

8 miles total after work.  it was still warm out.  3 mile warmup up the canyon trail, then a 3 mile tempo starting at mile 4 of 10k, then 2 miles home.

tempo splits-- 5:32,5:38,5:28

I survived it.  body still just feels really beat down.  I have been working more lately and running less.  hammies are sore from using a sledge hammer and shovel a little too much this week.  can i count breaking out driveways and repouring them as cross training?

15miles--Got out early this morning.  wanted closer to 20 miles but i was running way to slow to run that far.  15 miles in 2:21:30. ave pace 9:26 yikes!!!!!!!! just wasn't feeling it.  that was just the pace i felt like running.  who knows i might feel like running that slow in the marathon but i sure hope not.  My right achilles/lower calf has been a little bothersome for a few weeks. legs pretty much just felt heavy and unresponsive, hope that my BIG taper will at least get me feeling a little energetic.
