I had hoped to get a few more miles in than what I did today but was short on time. Very good run though.

PM - on Treadmill - 8 x 400 @ 81 secs - full recovery - 2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down.  Did this workout last week, but felt much more in control and good after I was done following this week's workout.  In additiona, I did not feel like running this morning and thought that if I postponed until later in the day, I would be better fit mentally to do the workout.  Unfortunately, after a long day at work I really had to convince myself to get this workout completed at the end of the day.  Glad I did.

AM - early easy 4.0 mile shake out run recovery from yesterday's repetitions workout.  I think I am in a bit of a running funk right now with some poor motivation.  Had a hard time getting out the door this morning.  Felt fine once I got started - it was just the gettting there that was tough.  Will try to follow up with a secondary run later in the day.

Lunchtime - managed to squeeze in a 6 mile run on the treadmill at lunch with 6 striders, in between a day of back to back business meetings.  Too chilly outside today to run as I only had shorts and a t-shirt with me at the office.  Below 50 degree temps with significant wind chills in the middle of the day in Florida is a bit unusual.

Worklife got in the way of running today - so it became a rest day.

Early AM on the treadmill - 4 x 800 @ 2:47 with 2 min recovery.  This was manageable but bordered on the edge of too fast / too tough.  2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down.

Late afternoon - did an easy 4.5 miles on the treadmill before a business dinner.

PM - 8.0 miles late afternoon - stress reliever.  Had to work most of the day today :( But had a nice run.
