AM - 6 miles in Gainesville at the University as I am here for the game yesterday.   Ran down to the track and did 8 striders at the crack of dawn.

Really had in my mind a plan to run today - but my work scheduled did not permit for it; and then I lost motivation by the evening.

AM - 3 miles easy with Finn in the neighborhood.

 

PM - lunchtime treadmill workout. Just enough time in my work schedule to squeeze in a little over 4 miles at marathon pace - (just under 7 mins per mile) - felt relaxed and controlled.

PM - in St. Pete for business/work.  Staying with Richie, so we went out for a run in the evening - easy for about 6.5 miles.  Evidently after the recent hurricane, the storm water systems maxed out the capacity of the waste water treatment facilities and three local municapalities decided to dump millions of gallons of raw sewage into Tampa Bay late last week - including near downtown St. Pete.  I was told the odor was overwhelming on the weekend - but last night it was not too noticable.  Yuck.

AM - got up early with Richie and found Justin in the neighborhood and after a 2 mile warm up we did 6 x 800 with an equal (~3 mins or so) rest.  Averaged right around 6:25 ppm overall.  I really do NOT miss the humidity of this area.  The dew point was 78 degrees this morning and feels like temp was 85 degrees at 5:15 am.

AM - 3.25 miles very easy with Finn on the golf course in the dark this morning.  Put a little light on his collar and let him run off-lead - so I could keep track of him.  Worked well.
