6 easy. I got a stomach bug over the weekend that wiped me out. I think I managed 8:00 pace this morning... felt rough.

(sigh)

The last 2 weeks have not been good for training. I tend to let things snowball beyond what they should, so I'm trying to put the brakes on it. 6 easy this morning. I'll go for 8 tomorrow and Friday and 12 Saturday. That'll at least get me to 48 for the week.

I couldn't run this morning, so I did 6 with Rylie. 92 degrees with a 77F dew point. Brutal but bearable. Rylie enjoyed getting splashed at the water fountain by Algiers Point.
