I think I've started to reach a mileage that is outpacing my intake of fuel. I definitely am finding myself to be a bit more hungry than usual. I've debated about keeping track of my diet as I train, but that's starting to push my threshold for the amount of data I want to spend recording in a day. I'd be happy to hear anyone's stories of doing this.
Last night I was to run an easy 6 miles. I was content to take it easy this run, but my watch decided to pretend the battery was low. As a result, I pushed myself to beat the power off, which never happened. I was plenty sore by the time I had hit the trail, and I didn't get that relaxing run I'd hoped for.

While I could have run another 3 today, I decided to take it easy. Brenda and I set out to play tennis. After several days we finally hopped on our bikes and rode to the courts. Of course as soon as we set our feet on the pedals the rain drops began to fell. I'm stubborn and decided we would chance it. One of the beautiful things about yesterday's run was the soft rain that fell for about 20 minutes, and luckily today it was much the same. The courts quickly dried up.
We still have a ways to go, but Brenda's skills have greatly improved as a result of the tennis class she took here in Reston. We just need to work on that serve ;-)
