5:00 a.m. at the gym.  20/20 elliptical/cycling workout.

Didn't run tonight.  Had to put our beloved Chocolate Lab, Savannah, down tonight.  8 1/2 years old was all she was.  A lot tougher than one would think.

7:00 a.m.  12 mile run in 1:44:24, 8:42 AP.  10 of them with Tina in 1:25:20.  7 minutes faster over 12 miles than last week.  Always faster with her. Nice sunny morning.  Cool at first, but then got warm for long sleeves with the sun higher in the sky and quickly warming things up.

9:00 a.m. Golds Gym. 3 x 15 x 6 machines.  Light reps, upper body.
