Since it was going to be 6 slow miles I loaded up Hawthorne's story, Feathertop, from the Classical Tales Podcast to accompany me. The gentleman that reads for the podcasts does an excellent job and it helps pass the time.

The SmartCoach training schedule from Runner's World listed today as a Rest/XT day so I turned into into an Easy Run day.

It was another sweaty run in Orlando this afternoon, accompanied my Mr. B.J. Harrison's reading of Lot 249 on Classic Tales Podcast. A good story if a bit dated from the days of its author's time.

3.00 mi in 38:53 @ 12:56/mi burning 281 calories.

2.5 miles squeezed in between work and total darkness. Definitely not enough time to run a full 5 miles as I had scheduled.
