Real busy day, and I had to be at the office early. Same thing tomorrow, I have a 6:30 a.m. meeting. But I snuck off to the Y at lunch, got a quick 4 in and watched it snow for 30 minutes out the window. Cleared my head in the middle of the day. 7:47 pace.

Yesterday was a long, long day, made worse by not getting a chance to run. I don't know how Jon Allen was doing it on those 12-hour days. But I had time this morning for the Y treadmill, and did two at 8/min and four at 7:30. Felt really, really good to run again, I needed that. The race I planned for Saturday is now dubious because I lost my ride in (and thus, my Navy base access), so it looks like I'll do a long run with Mike instead. Supposed to be nice out, so that may be the better play anyway.

Five on the treadmill, felt really strong through the last three miles at 7:40 pace. Looks like it'll be alright outside for a long run tomorrow. 39:00

Ten on the Slug Club route with Mike. Pretty decent weather, and it's nice to have light a little earlier. We started at a safe pace (7:30s) but ended up pushing on the way out, then actually picked up the pace a bit headed back. Fastest mile was 6:40, and most were just under 7. The pace felt comfortable and my fitness can accommodate that pace, the only nagging thing is some pain in my hipflexors. I didn't stretch much after Friday's run, and I think that's the cause. They loosened up quickly when I stretched this morning after the run. 1:11 total, about the same as our 10 two weeks ago.
