17 hour day at work today battling thunderstorms and a new copilot.  Tried to get into Denver and had to hold for an hour and divert for fuel to Fort Collins, CO.  Couldn't get in there because of low level wind shear and diverted again to Colorado Springs.  Had to wait 2 hours for the storms to blow through Denver before I felt comfortable enough to try another approach in.  Finally landed in Denver and loaded up for San Fransico.

I headed out to the Bay Trail for a run, but no kidding, I fell asleep in the elevator on the way down to the lobby, so embarrassing.  So I ran an easy 5.3 and called it a day.

Totally missed the scheduled workout.

That's your excuse for missing a workout?

Actually, there is a place (probably) in any training schedule for an occasional easy 5 miler.

Pathetic isn't it? I have two weeks off now so I will catch up with you for a run
