Philadelphia:  It was a good morning for running.  Cloudy and around 60.  I didn't feel the best this morning just kind of sluggish.  I took it easy and ran back down on the river trail.  Going out there I ran by the Philly Art museum which is the place where Rocky ran up the steps in the movie and then danced around when he got to the top.  They have a statue of Rocky by the side of the museum.  I didn't run up the steps but if I run by there in the morning maybe I will run up the steps for fun.

PM:  I had a little time before a dinner meeting so I got in a few miles on the TM.  I wanted to do something fast since I didn't have much time and I have ran anything fast this week.  I did a 3 mile tempo with one mile at MP as I transitioned into the tempo.  Here are the splits for the tempo: 6:40, 6:35, 6:27.  I didn't feel the best but didn't feel like I was pushing real hard.  Glad to get some faster running in.
