| PM - somewhat of a blown workout. After a long day I headed out on the same river trail. 2 mile warmup then 2 x 2 miles at 6:40/7:10 with a 5 min rest. Quite warm near 90 with dp at 72 and humid. Thought I would use the HRM to gauge the effort based on how I have been running those paces on the treadmill - but the first rep was about 20 secs too slow on the first and the second was even slower. So when I started the second rep I decided to hit the designated paces - which I pretty much did - but my HR was blown up doing it. The trail was great with mile markers every 10th. They have a great trail system here - bike and run in the summer and cross country ski or snowshoe in the winter.

PM - workout #2 for the day - 10 x 2 mins /off then 8 x 1 min on/off on the golf course. Felt reasonably decent and was generally pleased with today's effort.

| PM - big workout for me today. Went well. 12 x 800 @3:20 with a 4:20 pace 800 rest after each rep and then finished with a mile at 6:40 on the treadmill. Didn't feel easy by any means but manageable and controlled and with good HR range even on the last mile.

| PM - 20 miles in the city of brotherly love. Had to be here for a work commitment early tomorrow. Arrived around 1 pm - and decided I had time to gear up and get my long run in. Found my way across town to the Schuylkill River Trail - then made a turn at the Wissahickon bike trail and then found myself on Forbidden Drive (Jason D). Really nice scenery. Beautiful area to run. Had great weather and the wind at my back after the turn around - 3 miles fast finish.

| AM - travel late with delays yesterday prevented a second run. 8 miles this morning on a treadmill in a hotel in Orlando. Too steamy and remote of a location to venture out into the darkness.

| AM - on the treadmill in the hotel in Orlando - 11 miles at MP effort. Decent effort. Workout #1 for today.
PM - Workout #2 - 2 mile warm up then 10 x 2 min on/off; 8 x 1 min on/off - 2 mile cool down with Richie in St. Pete. I drove over from Orlando after my meetings concluded and did this workout in the rain. On the 2 min reps we averaged well under 6:40 pace (a couple being under 6:20); but I slowed a bit on the 1 min reps for and average closer to 7:10. Completely depleted all glycogen in my muscles and completely shrived from the rain and humidity.

| AM - Five easy miles with Richie in St Pete this morning. I really do not miss the heat and humidity of Florida. My shorts and shoes were as wet this morning as they were last night after running in the rain.

| PM - only took time for a 2 mile walk with Finn in the evening. Very full day and weekend with family and friends and some long overdue home time that I just couldn't really pry myself away from in order to get some running in.

| AM - 5 miles easy/early with Finn. Had an encounter with a very large and aggressive acting, Golden Retriever (odd because they usually are so friendly) who initially looked to be penned with an invisible / electronic fence in his owner's yard - but ultimately he came out onto the roadway running at us menacingly with loud barking. Finn's reaction (a quick wimper, ears back - he's barely 35 lbs) was avoidance and flight instead of direct confrontation. Fortunately we were fleet-of-foot enough to escape the potential danger relatively easily.
PM - roughly 5 more on the golf course after work. Looking and feeling a little more like fall.

| Lunchtime - took an early lunch (and a slightly longer one too) - 1 mile warm up; 12 x 800 @ 3:10/4:10 then 1 mile at 6:05 pace. Did this on the treadmill and felt very solid with the effort. The treadmill calibration may have been off a bit - showing faster pace than perhaps my HR would demonstrate - but it was still fun running the last half of the last mile at sub 6 pace and feeling like I could go faster.
PM - did another 3.5 miles with Ken who was up here on business. Nice to catch up with him.

| PM - wave tempo on the treadmill- 5 x mile alternating each mile 6:30 and 7:30 for an average of 7 mins for 10 miles. Good workout - limited time. Probably would have added another mile or two if more time was available.

| AM - tried something different - with a second workout early morning after having done the workout yesterday evening after work. 10 x 2mins on/off; 8 x 1 min on/off - on the treadmill - with the 2 min fast reps at 6:30 pace or better, and the 1 min fast reps at sub 6:15 pace - last one at sub 6 min. Solid effort. Travel midday to the west coast today.
PM - 6 miles easy along the Embarcadero in San Francisco. East coast west coast running day.
