| AM - 4 miles easy around the lakes in Carillon before work.
PM - roughly 8 miles more or less with Richie at lunchtime in St. Pete. Interesting observation - while Florida is exceedingly hot and humid for running, for me, the pancake flatness of the terrain is a remarkably mitigating factor to that tropical environment for this activity. So even though uncomfortable, draining, and drenching (from unevaporating sweat) the flatness of the ground really makes things much easier and perhaps more bearable than one may realize.

| PM - tough but good workout. 1 mile warm up then wave tempo 6 x 1 mile @6:30/7:30 - alternating paces followed by a final mile at 6 mins. Wore me out. Pleased though with how solid I felt throughout.

| PM - roughly 6.5 miles around the golf course behind my house. Never actually ran on it before - concerned I may be in the way of golfers or get asked to leave - but I ventured out today in really nice weather -- upper 50s in the late afternoon. Saw more deer than folks playing golf (literally saw one foursome and a twosome) said hello and went on my way. Really quite pleasant running.

| Chicago Marathon - Not sure I should call this a race report - because it did it as training workout ....
Got an invitation from Richie on Thursday to run under an alias - his friend had to bail for the Chicago Marathon and offered me his race number -
Richie was planning to use this as a workout for NYC and to help pace our friend Justin to a sub 3:30.
So this was really a bit "last minute" - but I was able to used frequent flier miles and bunk with Richie and Justin. So I flew up last night.
Plan was to run 8 min pace with Justin for 16 then drop to 4 miles at MP - fast finish. Richie was going to hang with us until 12 then do 6 at MP then another 4 at MP +. Really a nice day - great event. Everything went as planned more or less. We paced Justin really well. Richie took off at 12 and planned to reconnect at 22 to pace Justin in. I paced Justin for the next 4 miles through 16 and then did the next 4 miles at just over 7 min pace. I eased up and waited a bit for Justin until mile 22 where I hoped to see Richie. But with no sign of Richie or Justin - I decided to "cool down" for a few miles. And then, when I got to 24 I figured I might as well finish. Got a little excited and ran the last mile at MP. Ran 3:28:36.

| PM - grinder workout. 12 x 800 alternating 3:10 / 4:10 pace per segment followed by 1 x mile at 6:05 pace. Just a mile warm up and really no cool down. Solid effort. Tuckered out now.

| AM - Riley was home for the weekend - so a light easy run and conversation with her on the Milton Trail was in order. Beautiful morning. Legs felt fine after yesterday's workout.

| In trial in Detroit today. Generally an undesireable day for a run - when I was scheduled do a workout- so decided to take a day off.

| AM - little workout - tune up. 2 x 1 mile at MP with a mile warm up and cool down. Felt fine - probably too ambitious with my desired MP - just going by feel.
