PM - 20 miles in the city of brotherly love.  Had to be here for a work commitment early tomorrow.  Arrived around 1 pm - and decided I had time to gear up and get my long run in.  Found my way across town to the Schuylkill River Trail - then made a turn at the Wissahickon bike trail and then found myself on Forbidden Drive (Jason D).  Really nice scenery.  Beautiful area to run.  Had great weather and the wind at my back after the turn around - 3 miles fast finish.

AM - travel late with delays yesterday prevented a second run.  8 miles this morning on a treadmill in a hotel in Orlando.  Too steamy and remote of a location to venture out into the darkness.

AM - on the treadmill in the hotel in Orlando - 11 miles at MP effort.  Decent effort.  Workout #1 for today.

PM - Workout #2 - 2 mile warm up then 10 x 2 min on/off; 8 x 1 min on/off - 2 mile cool down with Richie in St. Pete.  I drove over from Orlando after my meetings concluded and did this workout in the rain.  On the 2 min reps we averaged well under 6:40 pace (a couple being under 6:20); but I slowed a bit on the 1 min reps for and average closer to 7:10.  Completely depleted all glycogen in my muscles and completely shrived from the rain and humidity.

AM - Five easy miles with Richie in St Pete this morning.  I really do not miss the heat and humidity of Florida. My shorts and shoes were as wet this morning as they were last night after running in the rain.
