AM: 5 miles.
PM: 9 miles with Forerunners. Track closed again for the holidays. Scheduled workout was 400s with descending rest, but doing that workout on the Pinellas Trail, at dusk with the local Walking Dead extras about is no recipe for success. Lee, Steve, Ched and I settled on a modest tempo run. Lee and Steve are both recovering from illness and injury, and I'm a bathtub short of Jim Morrison's Paris vacation of '71. Last night Anna slapped my stomach and asked me if I had a baby in my belly.
Our goal was 4 miles @ 6:30 pace. We ran 6:27, 6:28, 6:18, 6:09, which I'll call MP. No great shakes, but it's a weird winter with a constant dew point of 70+. It seems like everyone is injured or burned out.
One cool thing about our run today was that Steve led us out to the South Pasadena waterfront. I've never run down there, and it was beautiful.
A couple other things I am liking are:
1) My wife and I have an annual tradition of watching the BBC production of Pride and Prejudice. I don't end every night with Merchant Ivory or Downton Abbey... but I do think the writing in P&P is out of this universe.
2) I kind of want to join Twitter to follow this account. Some favorites:
"uncle lando said my helmet made me look like a depressed lampshade and then everyone laughed and high-fived him i hate this family so much"
"mom please don't even pretend you know what I'm going through right now also we are out of conditioner"
"holden caulfield knows what it means to commit to a bold choice of headgear and i respect that"
"this elliot smith song really makes me think of darth vader"
