did i mention i need to stretch?

tuesday: 7 miles ~ 7:52 pace.
it was close to 60 degrees out this afternoon, so i had to take advantage by doing my long run today. i went 7 out-and-back on hall street, which is the same route i took last week. however, while last week my legs felt pretty good and the weather was awful, this week the weather was great and my legs felt pretty bad. after 5 miles, they felt decent, but it took that long for them to loosen up, and i never felt especially swift. my guess is that my complete lack of stretching yesterday was at least partially to blame. my calves, particularly, were really tight. the hills were decently good, though. as slow as it makes my runs right now, i think that it's good to do hilly routes as much as possible.
