The body started off the month feeling a little tired. Charlotte is experiencing a bit of another heat spell with temperatures back up in the 90s. I definitely have to consider that in the last two weeks I've run over 200 miles as I went 107 and 94 mpw. In fact if you were to go back the last three months you would see weeks of (recent to week ending June 6th): 94, 107, 55, 93, 96, 80, 87, 88, 85, 91, 79, 92, 82. That's probably one of the best 13 week stretches that I've ever had. Averaging 86 miles per week for the last 13 weeks has left me a little fatigued during the summer months. I shouldn't be complaining though because my buddy Jerry's Kids out in Oklahoma has been running in the 110-120 range in his lead up to the Chicago Marathon.

I am going to workout this evening, but I'm needing a bit of extra coffee and motivation to do so. I put in an easy 5 miles this morning in order to see what the body was telling me.
