Today, in spite of the light rain and overcast, was a pretty ugly run. I was tired after the last few days of the Boyd and Beyond conference (which I've attended since its revitalization in 2010) at Quantico and my general workload in the office. I had taken the last few days off because I was exhausted, but I had to run today.

I was remembering advice from my cross-country coach in high school, decades ago, that I needed to be running "just slightly uncomfortable." I was able to do that for a good chunk of today, but it was still tough going.
