super early recovery run this am, meeting at 6am (at least I thought, no one but me!! I could have slept in, oh well)

 8:39, 7:51, 7:26, 7:20, 7:04, 7:18, 7:15 (last .39)

run longer tomorrow and sunday, praying for Mike (rattletrap) on his race (Big Sur Marathon, B2B).  He is going to have a great race
