Nice easy 5 miles.  Forgot my garmin so no splits this morning.  Just some FYI of what's going on in our neck of the world...had the first ever democratic presidential elections last week Sunday.  Results have been trickling in.  Lots of ethnic tensions taking place between the 2 candidates.  Results are supposed to come out today.  Things have heated up in town so they 'closed the doors' of our girls' school with all the students inside.  This happens on a rare occasion when tensions and sometimes rioting takes place.  It's for their safety and the safety of all the parents that have to travel on city roads to get kids after school.  So, we can't go get our kids until the French Ambassador says it's OK to do so (it's a French school).  I was at least able to get to the store and get a few supplies this morning before they closed. 

Well, had a bit of a pm run.  FYI...we were finally able to pick up our girls from school without incident.  Announcement of the winner of the elections should be any time now.  Hopefully things won't heat up too much.  Here are my splits:  10:21, 10:34, 10:16, then walked for .37 miles.

Hard work out today.  Managed to get in 5 Yasso's.  Lots of excitement going on around us since the announcement of the new President.  All of us are sticking close to home as trouble is about through out the city.  Here are the splits:  wu 2.06 AP 11:06, .50 (8:24), .50 (11:01), (8:21), (11:27), (8:23), (11:42), (8:16), (12:57), (8:22)

Got in a few miles this pm.  I bit (all relative) cooler with threatening rain.  10:25, 10:21, 10:12, then a nice leisurely .55 walking cool down.

Bonne Nuit!

Well, I had an ML today...Mental Lapse...I thought today was the day for a tempo run. Yesterday was so bizarre because of the crazy events taking place around town that I thought today was Thursday.  So that's why I was tired...again!  Oh well...here are the splits:  10:29, 9:12, 8:58, 8:44, walked for last mile.

Felt good today.  Not nearly as tired as last weekend.  Finished running around 10am and it was 77 outside with 83% humidity, so it wasn't as hot as last weekend.  Cloud cover.  AP was 11:48.  Splits: 12:20, 11:58, 12:04, 11:46, 12:04, 11:31, 11:09, 12:30, 11:31, 12:40, 11:22, 11:36, 11:09
