AM - got in an easy 4 miles - a little later in the morning than I had planned.  Thought I would get more miles in late in the afternoon - then plans changed.  Went to two different Memorial Day gatherings - one at noon and the other at 4 way over in north Tampa.  Had to pack and finish up some work before travel on Tuesday.

AM - early start - first workout since before London.   Did an easy warm up of 2 miles to the gym, then did a progression run on the treadmill starting at 7:20 pace, then increasing speed 10 seconds every mile for 6 miles - so the last mile was at 6:30 pace.   Hopped off the treadmill and did a 2 mile cool down back to the house.   Wanted to be fairly precise in the effort / pacing so the treadmill was quite a useful tool in that regard.  Felt decent for the first workout in a while. The last mile may have required a bit more concentration / effort; but overall felt good about the session.

AM - at Hilton Head, SC for management meetings.  Seriously - and disappointingly, we were in a conference room without windows from 7 am until 5:30 pm - and have the same schedule tomorrow.  Got out early for a nice run on the beach of 8 miles.  Low tide, and wide firm and level ground made for a pleasant run.

AM - got out even earlier for a run along the beach in HH in the moonlight.  Was at least an hour before I saw any other people out - very peaceful and enjoyable run of 10 miles before early meetings.

AM - late night and an even earlier start to our meetings today - so just 8 miles.   Only day they planned to have us outside of the meeting rooms.  Supposed to go on a boat cruise to an island in the low country and then some kayaking/team building stuff before we head home.

AM - exhausted from the week's travel - I slept in a bit before doing an easy 6 miles on steamy morning.  Will get another run in later in the day.
