PM - after work - treadmill workout- Yassos 800's.  9 x 800 with a 400 rest.  Average pace was right around 3:03 per rep.  I had planned to do 8 reps but lost count and did 9 which now feels like I should have done 10.  These were hard, but it was a good effort.

AM - easy recovery effort - around 5.5 miles with Finn before work this morning.  

PM - 5 more on the treadmill at lunchtime.   Non-essential travel ban at work with the virus issue has given me more time to get training in, uninterrupted from work travel.

AM - 5k with Finn in a light mist/rain early this morning.  Working from home for a bit now with the whole virus thing - my employer is encouraging it.  
 

PM - 3.5 miles with neighbor Dan and Finn at the end of the day.  Lost some motivation for doing a workout as I expect to hear that Boston will cancel their race soon.

A little over 5 miles this morning in the rain with Finn and Dan and Greg.  Everyone is work from home so we could go out later than usual since we don't have to commute.  
 

Boston is postponed to September- so I will back off the longer long runs for now.

PM - unexpectedly difficult run this afternoon with Finn.  Maybe need a rest or very easy running for the next day or two.
