PM after Easter Ham - took a lap around the old high school track (in Lex., KY) in my Khakis and Green Polo.  0.25 miles - 2:12

PM - after the trip to Lexington, (5hours of driving with one screaming kid for 1.5 hours of return trip), easy hour of running with 20 min. core and putting the kids to bed thrown in the middle. 

6.75 miles - 1 hour.  Tired and stiff.  How the hell is Syracuse in the Final 4?

AM - LR w/ 5k LT thrown in the middle.  8.3 miles from my house across town to series 5k race.  Threw in 4mi. AT on the way over.  WU another 1.5 when I got there, and suffered through a slow and tired 5k LT effort.  18:36 was miserably hard.  Tough to simulate race effort solo, so a worthwhile effort at least  Grabbed some water and gel and headed home.  Slogged it out for 4 to 5 miles attempting to get down in to AT, to no avail.  The wind really picked p at some point during the race, and seemed to build throughout the trip home.  Rounded corner in tothe fairgrounds and was nearly stopped in my tracks by a strong gust.  21.18 total - 2:38:40
