AM - short run before church and work again today.  Way too much going on and stress.  Basically a lost weekend of training.   The good news is that the two light running days resulted in a very strong feeling when I was running this morning.

AM - 7 miles this morning.  Was scheduled for an early flight this morning, but after I got up and hit the shower, I got a message that my flight was delayed for 3 hours - so I went out for a run on a humid and very windy morning.  

PM - 5 miles after work in ATL.  Chilly and rainy but an enjoyable run nonetheless.

PM - fairly good workout this evening after work.  2 mile warm up then 8 x 800 with a 400 rest with a 2 mile cool down.  Avg pace for the halves was 2:53.  None of the reps felt as though I was on the limit - and so I would rate this as a pretty good sign that my fitness is decent at this point.  Oddly though, I cannot say I have felt "good" for a run from start to finish in quite some time. It is a strange thing.  I am running fairly well in workouts but I just don't have the overall sense of feeling strong and confident on a day to day basis.

AM - decent workout - progression run.  2 mile warm up then 6 mile progression starting at 7:30 pace and increasing by 10 secs per mile each mile.  2 mile cool down.  Solid effort.
