Not tired

Last week was very poor on the running front and next week will be no better. And the week after. Due to our quarterly reporting requirements at work, I have to work both days of next weekend.

The first mile was so-so but then I got to a nice straight stretch of path so I decided to run a bit faster. I was going to pack…
