AM - long run 20 miles - longest since running Boston in the Spring.  Not very fast, but felt reasonably solid.  Humid out.  Not Florida humid, but enough to make my shoes sound squishy around 14 miles.

AM - Between 4.5 and 5 miles this morning.  Took it very easy - but really no issues, aches or pains from the long run yesterday.

PM - 6.5 miles at lunch - Planned to run longer but was short on time.

AM - 7 miles before work.  Long day yesterday and was too mentally exhausted to get in a second run.  Probably for the best though, because I felt much better this morning after a good night's sleep.

PM - 6 miles or so after work.  Much slower and weaker feeling.

AM - between 4-5 miles.

PM - 9 miles - on the treadmill workout.  3 mile warm up then 10 x 2 mins on/2 mins off; then 8 x 1 min on/ 1 min off - with a short cool down.  Good workout.
