AM:  48F.  8 @ 7:16 AP.  Last couple miles had some fierce fartleking, and I ended up splitting 6:22, 6:06 for those.  These old A5s feel more like socks than shoes though...they may be close to retirement, even though there are no (big) holes in them yet.

PM:  79F.  4 @ 7:30 AP.  Shirtless!  Worked on my tan for 30 minutes in the blistering December heat.

Great running today in the sauna, joe. I was tempted to go shirtless this morning, and i should have, but i just thought that was too odd for late December.

Fartleking - is that a gerund?

You hit low 6s so easily now that a big PR has to be in the books.

From Jake K on Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 10:38:56 from 199.190.170.21

"Fierce" is definitely a word that should get thrown around more in running effort lingo.

Over 1K on the A5s?! You are the shoe industry's worst nightmare.

Tom - I looked up gerund, and I believe you're correct.

Flat - 50k PR is coming right up

Jake - yeah but I had to lay my Wild Hare FTs to rest at less than 500 miles...

Sorry, never knew there was an FRB freakout for using the "less than" sign
