Hilly course with 5 miles at average of 6:30 pace. Did not feel very good today, legs tired and heavy from mileage increase.

Ran total of 11 miles today with a 3 mile tempo in middle. Mile splits were 5:56; 5:58; 6:00. Considering how tired I have felt lately I am happy with the effort.

11 miles in average pace of 7:05. First 7 fairly easy, then picked up last three running 6:42, 6:24 and 6:14 last three. Legs felt tired and heavy when we picked up the pace. Two 70+ mile weeks in a row.
