I wanted to do more this morning, but my body refused. I'm still sore from running on Monday. I just need to focus and make myself run daily. If I do so, these hard workouts will get better and better and I will become a better runner. Watch was funky this morning telling me I was going 6:45 up part of Temple Hill when I knew it couldn't be more than 8:00. Elevation was weird too, but it says I averaged probably around 8:00 min/mile.

I had a neurobiology quiz this morning, and kept on imagining how amazing it is our body can correlate the running motion. I wanted to hook myself up to an MRI and see how the primary motor cortex is working relative to not running.  If I don't go to med school, or don't want to build a sub-light space engine, I think I will study running on the brain.
