Cold, clear and beautiful morning. Temperature in the upper 30's, nearly full moon. It was light enough to see the street clearly at 5:30. I've really suffered from allergies this year for some reason. Tears were streaming down my face starting out and then my lungs started to hurt and then I started wheezing about a mile and a half in. Fortunately all that went away at about the two mile mark and I started feeling pretty good (hard not to, on such a beautiful morning). With about a mile to go, I cranked it up to threshold pace and held that to the end.

Beautiful morning for a run up AF Canyon. Temperature 47, clear skies, waning gibbous moon in the south. Even at 5:20 it was light enough to see the trail and roads.Was a bit surprised by all the people I saw this morning. Ran into a lady with two dogs on the trail (one of which was ready to tear into me), two couples on the golf course trail and eight or so runners on the way back. As I was getting ready to turn around and head back down the canyon, a couple of bikers called out a greeting and really quite startled me. I didn't hear them coming up the other side of the road and they were slightly behind me. Along that stretch of road I really thought I was all alone.  I pushed the pace on the way back to the point that my legs were starting to feel a bit wobbly towards the end. All in all, a great run.

Steady pace, just to make sure that I didn't tighten up after yesterday's harder run.

Ran 6.25 by myself around 7 (2.1 at threshold pace) and then ran 7 more with Laureen and Amelia. Felt pretty good afterwards. No real aches or pains.
