PM - 14 miles in St Pete.  Had to be here for business in the morning tomorrow and did not run at home this morning.  Regretably it was in the upper 60’s midday in Atlanta for the first time in forever but I ended running in St Pete where it was 94.  Bleah

PM - treadmill tempo - 2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down - 6 miles at MP - which on this treadmill was 6:44 pace.  Generally I try to hit my target HR and whereever the pace ends up on the treadmill - I get the intended effect of the workout. 

This was a bit tougher than I expected - I had to concentrate pretty hard - and the last mile or so was a bit above threshold.

PM - 17 miles on the treadmill.  Good decision to stay inside with really warm temps - today.  I felt really relaxed and watched football and listen to a new book on running.  “Running to the Edge” by Matt Futterman.
