Ran to the gym this morning.  Did 35 hard minutes on the stationary bike. Ran back home. Found $5 laying by the side of the road.  Nice way to start the day.

I really want to break a sub 60 minute 10K before the end of the year and since I couldn't drag myself out of bed early this morning, decided to do a hard workout on the treadmill in the afternoon.

Warmup jog, followed by 4x1mile repeats with the pace between 9:45 and 10:00 mm. Quarter mile breaks in between to get my heart rate down to 110. Last repeat was a 1x2 mile that I finished in 19:45.  Cooldown jog.  That was a toughie!

Got up early and headed out to the JRP.  I didn't realize I only live about 3 miles from it because I usually drive to the parking lot near my office. Ran about 10 miles on the parkway, then ran home again.  1 more mile cooldown with the dog.  30 minutes cleaning the pool.

I need to run .25 this evening in order to make my 40 for the week, but first - have to work the rest of the day.
