6:15 p.m.  5 mile run on standard route to gate and back via Loma Vista and Upland loops on return. 46:45.  Picked it up a bit in the last 1.5 miles, feeling pretty good.  Hate the sudden cold weather.  You spoiled child!  Still running in shorts, what a complainer! Actually, the temperature felt pretty good out while running.

9:00 a.m.  10 mile run with Tina in 1:25:00, 8:30 AP.  Smelter Road hills.  Got in the middle of a 5K from the Catholic Church on 7th and Vine up towards the mouth of the canyon and down through the golf course and up Smelter Road some.  We kept going past the turn-around and they thought we were part of the race and were telling us to turn back.  Tina killed me on those hills.

10:45 a..m  Gym with Sharon.  3 x 15 x 6 machines upper body light repetitions.  5 minutes of the bike, easy.
