AM - 7.5 miles in Richmond Virginia.   Here on business for the day.  Rainy cool morning.  Happened upon the Richmond National Battlefield and the Chimborazo Medical Museum.  Did a little exploring.

PM - had a good workout today on the treadmill.  8 x 800 with a 400 jog/rest.  Did the first 4 at 2:56 then the next two at 2:52 and the 7th one at 2:50 and finished up with one at 2:48.   I expect to be very sore and tired in the next day or so - but really enjoyed how well-controlled these were.

PM - nearly got a zero today.  Awoke in the middle of the night with a cold (or severe allergies) and took some antihistamines and decongestants - worked from home in a blur. Finally made it out for a very easy 5 on the golf course followed by some indoor rowing at the end of the day.  Glad I did - because there was a light rain that came down while I was out.  Nothing more poetic to a runner but the sound of a spring shower and the plodding footfalls of a long distance runner on an otherwise quiet afternoon on a golf course in the middle of Georgia somewhere.

PM - just under 11 miles late afternoon - very nice run.  Not sore - but felt some fatigue in the last 3-4 miles.
