AM:  75F, 85%.  8 @ 8:08 AP.  Legs felt tired/cruddy until the last couple miles, which is also when there was finally a little daylight.  I'm already ready for DST (Daylight Stealing Time) to be over.  See what I did there?  I changed "savings" to "stealing," because it "steals" daylight from my morning runs.  That's the joke.  Daylight STEALING Time.  Get it?

PM:  5 TM miles, with 6 x 1 min @ 5k strides.  I think I'll bail on my HMGP workout tomorrow with the DP back up to august levels.  Will be replaced with a longer slog and I'll slot the HM workout in next week which is looking better/cooler, I guess.  This will still give me 3 goal-pace workouts before the half.

Would you mind going through that one more time for the guys in my age group?

From SlowJoe on Tue, Sep 16, 2014 at 07:39:34 from 168.215.171.129

I would, but there are simply too many complex layers, historical context, etc. to be able to explain it succinctly. This isn't the I Love Lucy hour, after all.

Wait, doesn't DST = Danish Standard Time?

From SlowJoe on Tue, Sep 16, 2014 at 09:44:10 from 168.215.171.129

Geez. My incredible, rapier wit is wasted on you people.

From Jake K on Tue, Sep 16, 2014 at 09:44:49 from 199.190.170.22

You make up for it w/ good looks.

That's what I keep telling everyone but I just get people snickering and rolling their eyes.

I almost fell out of my chair. :-(

Ho yeah....Like I said before, I've seen SlowJoe in person!

What's that supposed to mean? My mom says I'm handsome so I know it's true.
