7:15 pm.  Gaby came along for the ride.  He's funny how he slumps in the stroller, completely relaxed.  We dropped Ash at a back to school party.  Just after we left, one of the party-goers fell off the trampoline and broke her arm.  Some party.  

This was one of those runs where I spent the whole time telling myself, "Well, the first mile often doesn't feel good.  Hmm...it's normal to take a couple miles to get feeling good.  You'll feel fine after the turnaround...The last two miles are going to feel great."  It took that long; 4-5 miles to get warmed up and feeling groovy.

Beyond the final 20 miler, I didn't give much though to the final weeks before the marathon. I'm planning on 14ish tomorrow, then 10 next week, but how much in between?  This week I have felt sluggish and tired; I think dropping back to 4 days running is fine.  I'm sure it is; missing a midweek run 2 weeks before a marathon isn't make or break stuff.  Overthinking.

Feeling sluggish the week after a 20 miler is totally normal. I would guess Saturday's run will feel pretty good compared to this one as your body should be more recovered by then.
