Girls in France

My girls have been in france leaving me to my own devices for over a week, and i've only put on a kilo. And ran nearly 50 miles over the last 8 days.yesterday was a rest day.  feeling quite deflated by a forum guy, my age and training saying that his race pace is 8min miles. Mine is at least a minute slower, bugger. I supect my shit gait has something to do with it. need to go for a run later today. i had a rest day yestyerday and really want to hit the streets later. wtf is  happening.
