No time to run today (or past 2 days).  Hopped on the TM at home and did 3-mile warm-up, 3 mile "tempo" (6min pace), took a 2-minute breather, and did one last mile @ 6min pace- 7 miles total.

Ran the dreaded "Pie Hill" course through the hills:  Started by keeping an 8:30 pace over the first 5 miles and then picked it up a tad for two miles (8:12,8:13), jogged 1/2 a mile and then progressively picked it up over the next 3 miles (8:00,7:47,7:22), jogged another mile and then turned it up to see what I could do after 11.5 miles of jogging (6:15)- very happy with that mile and then jogged it in slowly for 13.5 miles total.

Thunderstorms brewing...went to the gym and did 3-mile warm-up on TM, ran 22 minutes w/every other minute @ 5:30 pace, jogged another 1/2 mile and then finished w/a 6min mile for 7.5 miles total.  I was a sweaty mess!
