I've hit a wall.  22:35.  I've hit that number pretty much on the head three times in the past two weeks.  I can't seem to break it.   Maybe I'm saving it for the big 5K in just five days - though that's a bit unlikely considering it's an additional .2 miles.

I'll take solace in the fact that my average pace continues to improve.  Besides that out layer run after my business trip - my worst run was 23:33.  I think it's safe to say my 24 minute runs are in the past, and my runs should all be under an 8 mile pace going forward as well. 

On another note, a friend once told me to take the day off before a race.  That apparently doesn't apply to me.  Looking back at my runs, the second day is almost always a noticeable improvement over the first.  I'll be sure to run on Friday this week - the day before the Martin Invasion.
