AM: Long run on the Clearwater bridges with Drew. Tried to get a bigger group together, but it ended up being just the two of us. The 20 miles flew by and we did about 9 bridge crosses which was a nice fitness challenge. We finished just in time as the last bridge was taxing to say the least. Loved this run, and very happy I got it in with some bridges.

PM: So... the heavens opened up today... I can't imagine I've ever been more water-logged.  I'm including pools, the ocean, and every other swimming adventure I've ever gone on.  It felt like a veritable monsoon- and it's Florida, so that's saying something.  I thought I was in that scene in Forrest Gump:

"One day it started raining, and it didn't quit... We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin' rain... and big ol' fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath..."

PM: track. Safety Harbor this time with Cory and Tyler.

Workout was 400s. 5x400, 4x400, 5x400 with 200 active recovery between items and 400 between sets. Figured we'd start at 5:20 pace and work down from there. Tyler only lasted a pair of them, but Cory hung in for the first 10, and the last one which was awesome. Tyler will be there shortly, I'm sure, as a college runner a couple of months removed with a 9:30 two-mile on record. I'm incredibly excited for our winter track workouts now.

Splits:

Set 1- 1:17, 1:17, 1:18, 1:16, 1:19

Set 2- 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:16

Set 3- 1:10, 1:10, 1:10, 1:10, 1:06

Felt really good about the last set. Reached a little too far into the tank for the 1:06 which I will regret Thursday.

PM: Ran mostly on trail/boardwalk today.  Nice change.

Side note- had a phenomenal day of teaching.  I was just really into it today.  Normally I get very excited and into it, because it makes my students wicked excited, but today was different.  I just had so many positive interactions today that I've been on a real high.  I managed to wane every negative situation and parlay that hedged bet into a positive rapport that hopefully is the basis of some great relationships to come.

AM: 8 incredibly slow miles.  Longer night runs followed by morning runs are not the most fun.  Note.  To.  Self.
