Slow and humid with Kathy L. Five was all I wanted to do in that soup. It was freaking 80 degrees at dawn!

Treadmill run before work after missing yesterday with a bad headache/sleep deprivation and Saturday/Sunday with baseball. So I needed a hard run. Warmed up for 2, cranked it to BQP for 4, then finished out the hour at 8.0 mph, which wound up being 1.12 miles. So a solid 7.12 miles in that hour, which is only slightly below BQP average. Legs felt pretty good, as they should after that little "taper".

I thought I'd get in another treadmill run before work. Then the phone buzzed on the way to the hospital. Ahmad wanted me to cover his pager because he was catching a 6:20 flight. I figured OK, I'll be at the hospital anyway and I can get my run done. Start the mill, run a whole minute and the pager goes off. Ir's a transfer from Sparks. I don't normally do transfers, so I had to kinda give that my full attention and figure out what needed to happen (didn't help that it took him four hours to get over here from four miles away). And the pager didn't slow down much. So there I am with a total run of one minute.

Progression for 15K on the mill at work, despite numerous interruptions. Took me forever to get the average below 10:00 thanks to all the beeping, then they left me alone for the last 45 minutes or so and I was able to crank it, including MP+ for the last 20 minutes. Good run after a rather bad week for running.
