Noon - treadmill fartlek run of 8 miles.  Good workout, lots of speed changes and inclines.  Need an easy gentle run to shake out my legs - hopefully later today or this evening.

 

Late PM - drove up to Gainesville after work with wife and daughter #2, Riley, for her freshman orientation for the University of Florida.  Quick dinner at the Swamp and then a short easy 4 miles before bed.

Sounds like you put it in today - well done, Bret. Even your words sound tired. Make sure you take it nice and easy on the shake out. All the miles and the travel and fighting off a cold might mean you need to recharge. Hang in there - the light in the distance, what's it saying? Ah, yes...2:50!

I'm sure you know this already, but you're unlikely to find money when you're indoors on a treadmill:)

Thanks Bam - I seem to have beaten the cold - but have to travel again this evening and again on the weekend. Perhaps I should instead chuck it and set about writing a great novel? At least I would get naps. :)

Ha ha. Nice. The problem is most writers are skint and spend most of their time 'dreaming' about the great novel. I'm still saving up the pocket money the wife gives me so that I can get a pair of trainers to do tempo runs in - might try this barefoot malarkey.
