8/10/04 - Tuesday

Tuesday – Sunny. Low 70’s warm. 8:40am 3 miles. Same course as yesterday around the hood. First mile my back was a little stiff and achy. I kept my pace down a little, figuring since I am only running 15 miles this week I might as well rest my body as the increase is to 22 miles next week. The little bastard had his first victory today, I did not feel good about it… he got me by only a few feet and a couple of seconds. He only beat me cause I walked a portion trying to figure out how the shuffle mode was put on my iRiver. It really isn’t too bad running b4 work, but I know I will have to switch up my longer runs on Tuesday mornings to another day.
