In the push to get to 50 miles this month, I pulled off my 3rd straight 7mi run in a matter of 5 days. Today was significantly harder than the previous two. There are probably a number of reasons for that, but I was able to finish fairly strong. Not sure while mile 6 was easier than mile 4.

And Thursday's run in the pouring rain:
I'll have to admit that Thursday I took a ~20 min break after ~5 miles to pick up my glasses. Easier to run another couple miles if you stop for 20 minutes.
Now to fit in 1.6 miles tomorrow or Wednesday -- seems pretty reasonable!
