Today I did 8 miles in recovery mode(skipped speed work). I ran during lunch and the weather was very good. I'm still curious as to why I still had cramps today. The first thing that comes to mind is it is probably nutritional. I used to feel like this all the time when I first started Kenyan Way. I finally figured it out when I adjusted my nutrition. I didn't really have cramp issues anymore. The puzzling part for me is although I have slipped a bit in recent weeks with my nutrition it hasn't been that bad. Oh well. I did 8 miles at 7:03 pace with the last few miles at sub 7 pace. I was able to get into a little flow and finally my legs started feeling a bit better. Hopefully by tomorrow they will feel even better.
Off to sleep...

June,
Maybe so, but I was expecting a lot of rain so I was happy I was able to get out and run and not swim.
