10 Miles. 7:39/Mile average. Really didn't help this run out by not getting enough sleep and being very dehydrated and carb depleted. It showed. Tried to do 6 mile repeats at 6:00, and completely died after 3. Each rest in between got slower and longer. Went from .25 in between the first two, to .5 between 2 and 3 and felt like crap. I've really had a hard time doing anything but my slow 8's since I had the stomach virus a couple weeks ago. I've felt really weak and mono-ish.
Evening: Ran 4 miles to the park and back pushing the girls. I really, really like going with them. My oldest daughter urged me to try to "catch up to that boy who's on a girls bike" during the last mile of the run, so I pushed it hard to get to him. We'd get close and then he'd speed up. We finally passed him and his family with about .20 left in the run and my daughter thought I was Superman. Averaged 7:05 on that run with the last mile at 6:12 (pushing the double-wide trailer/stroller).
