Five on the treadmill, we had a little snow this morning and the wind is whipping it around. Started out easy, around 8 minute miles, then started increasing the pace and got down to 7:35 for the last one. Finally felt like I was stretching my legs out a bit. 39:40.

Almost a 13-hour day today, but I manged to sneak out of work for an hour (when the content management system goes down, you have an excuse to leave) and get in four at the Y. I would have kept on for two more but felt guilty and needed to get back. I'm a little behind now on what I planned for the week so I'll stretch it out tomorrow hopefully, then 10 (at least) on Saturday. I ran faster than usual for the treadmill, 7:30 the whole run. Felt good though, I could tell I was a more warmed up than at 6 a.m.

Went up to the Y, but ran around the indoor track with a friend of mine instead of on the treadmill. It's a short track so you can't really stretch your legs, but we were going along alright and there wasn't too much gray-haired traffic on the loop. And it was a nice feeling to not be on the machine, legs felt more loose. Ran for 40 minutes, so it's in the neighborhood of five miles.

Early morning down at Annapolis, I met Mike in the dark and was really glad it wasn't raining (it was when I went to bed). I only slept about 5 hours because of an upset stomach, so it was a challenge to get moving. Once my head cleared up we ran a pretty good pace, most miles right around 7:05. One under 7, one or two 7:15. I was pooped afterward, but that's more from the lack of sleep. Legs were a little tight and my hips were a little uncomfortable out there. Four minutes faster than the same run a week ago: 1:11.
