Off Work - AM run - had the wife drop me off across town for a change of course.  That always seems to help with the mental state of mind.  WU 1 mi. and into 6MP - kept it around 6:25 avg., but, did not feel like AT effort.  Threw in some random hill pickups after recovering from that.

12.61 total - 90 minutes exactly.  Big LR planned for tomorrow - prob on TM since its gonna be raining and chilly.

30 Mile TM Long Run w/ 2x15min. AT - 8mph up to 9mph. 

Caught up on some awesome Bball highlights I missed when I went to bed early last night.  SportsCneter 5 times was a bit much...

"Variety Workout" setting on TM gave good variability to incline and helped reduce repetative soreness/fatigue.

3x TM resets, 2x bathroom breaks.
3xGURoctane gels, 2xHandhelds Water

4:09:05 total time.
