Seattle, WA.  Rainy this morning plus staying by the airport and didn't see any good places to run so ran on the treadmill at the hotel.  It felt good to get back to running after a couple of days off.  My legs felt good and just ran easy.  I am going to try to run again this afternoon if the schedule works out.

55:05 (7:52 avg)

PM:  I had a little bit of time after meetings and before a dinner meeting so was only able to get in 5 miles so wanted to make the most of it.  I ran 3.5 miles of it at tempo pace.  Here are the splits for the tempo:

1st - 6:44

2nd - 6:40

3rd - 6:35

last  1/2 mile at 6:31 pace.

I felt pretty good and it didn't seem like a hard effort.  It was a good day of running for being on travel.

It's nice to have a break and feel the passion after you start-up again. Also I bet your legs were a little more fresh.

I hope your trip goes well.
