AM - 3 miles with Sparky, untimed. Woke up feeling kind of congested in my chest, took me a little while to warm up. I have also had a stuffy nose for the past few days, which made breathing kind of difficult. Then another 7 miles by myself, first 6 miles in 44:00 flat, average pace of 7:20/mile. First three miles were done in an average of 7:30/mile, then I apparently picked it up some to average 7:10/mile for the last three. I didn't have the Garmin, but I ran this route the other day with the Garmin, so I know it was 6 miles. Finished strong, then cooled down for a mile, untimed. Legs felt a little tired afterwards, but that is to be expected. On a side note, it looks like I won't be able to do the Outrun the FBI 5K as originally planned, as a much more important event is going to take place - Samuel is going to be baptized! My parents will be coming into town from North Carolina, which is very sweet of them, and I know it will mean the world to Samuel. I am very excited - he is our first child to be baptized, so it seems to be more of a big deal. I actually hope that we can have all of the other baptisms be a big deal as well (for them).
