AM - 4.5 miles with Dan from his place this morning.  Pace was decent and the air slightly cooler.  It is good starting from his place because for the first half mile or so it is slightly downhill which allows for an easier and faster warm up time.   Nutrition and sleep were off last night.   Having a hard time figuring out what is going on with my intake that is giving me lots of GI churn.
