PM - after work in ATL - headed out in a new direction - temps were dropping - happy I brought my phone as I got a little turned around on some hilly dark neighborhood roads. Siri got me back though for a roughly 10 mile run.  Winter Storm warnings here for tomorrow. Snow in the forecast.

PM - on the treadmill at the hotel in ATL - (a few inches of snow fell here this afternoon - quite a big deal - my office is shut down for tomorrow because of it) 8 x 800 at 5k pace with a 400 rest after a 3 mile warm up and a 1.5 cool down.  Kept the pace under 6 mins per mile and did well getting through the workout.   Pleased with the effort.

AM - only time for a short run on the treadmill and did not get a chance to go out later in the day as I spent most of the afternoon and early evening at the airport.

PM - decent workout 3 mile warm up then 4 miles at HM pace with a 1 mile cool down.  Treadmill calibration had me at 6:49 pace, which felt slightly harder than HM should have felt.  Effort was what I was looking for, more than pace as shown on the machine.
