I was about halfway thru the Hopkins-Loyola lacrosse game and forced myself to get outside so I would get the run in. If I waited until the end of the game, it would run into other games and I'd never make it out.

Today's run was ugly. It didn't start out that way, but it was a bad finish when I was running well into zone 4 and almost into zone 5 on level ground. I decided discretion was the better part of valor and then cut the run a mile short. I was in the suck, so if I'm going to husband endurance for another long run in two days, I have to do it wisely.

It didn't help that it was markedly warmer than before and I've been sick with a bad head cold since Tuesday.
