Lorna joined me for my AM run after work. We ran together for four miles, she decided to walk and I decided to drop the hammer. Did 2.3 miles at MPish, most I've done in a while. Like since Utah. Had to work harder than I wanted to maintain that pace but maintained it. Have nine weeks to learn to maintain it for 209 minutes.

Out at 5:15 with Sheri, Cindy, Elaine and the rest of that crew of crazies, then did eight more miles on my own up and down Massard and the bike trails. Lots of hills in there. With 62 days to go, the kind of run I needed.

Recovery run on the SHS/Country Club loop. Easy to keep it slow; I was quite stiff from yesterday. Barey under 10:00 average. Stiffness finally worked out though.

Went to bed early and got up early, so decided to go run five with the crew at the Boys Club. Then maybe I'll get in some intervals this evening after I get a massage from Tiff.

Ran at the WAR room with the Sheris, May, Mary Jo and Pattie. Lots of others out there as well. Just kept it low and slow through Springhill Park and around Chad Colley. Still felt it for the last hour or so.
