Jon ~ Did you really expect to run fast at a distance you've not
training for? Wasn't the 4-miler just a small building block toward

training for.

I wonder about that too, Ohno. Those intervals may have left me a bit leg-weary. These are 52-year-old legs we're talking about. lol But I figured an easy day...
