Stalled Again

Tonight I am supposed to do 7 miles with the group. I checked out the route in our email from Coach Fung and it actually looks like an enjoyable 7 miles. Unfortunately I am feeling a bit under the weather. This is especially unfortunate since it is absolutely beautiful out! I was looking forward to running in shorts and short sleeves. I was also looking forward to using my new watch that I got for my birthday this past weekend. It has 100 lap memory which is really great (not because I am running 100 miles, but because most watches that I've looked at have only had a 20 lap memory. How are you supposed to get mile-splits for 26 miles with a 20 lap memory). It also has a really great function where you can set up goal splits and it will count them down for you. For example, if I want to do my first mile at 10:00 pace and my second at 9:30 and my third at 9:30, and then back up to 10:00 I can set my watch to tell me that. The only thing I've used it for so far though, is keeping track of the time I need to ice my legs versus the time I need to not ice my legs.
The other thing that bugs me is that we have 15-16 miles next week. Luckily though, it is light out, so tomorrow, which is supposed to be an off night for me, can be a 7-mile run.
