Easy 4 at MAFC, including a mile of Gallowalking with Jen, then put the hammer down for the last mile. Not because that was in the plan, but because I got tired of getting lapped by two young women who seemed to be running about 8:00 pace -- and were running in the inside lanes. Had enough of that, so I pushed the last mile. It was Jen's first run since the 5K 5.5 weeks ago. She did OK, one lap run, one walk, for a mile, stopped because transactions interfered. I kept going for three more miles, having run a mile before she arrived. Hopefully will feel like doing 14 or so tomorrow, something resembling a long run 31 days before Stockholm.

Tried a long run. Should have eaten breakfast first. Thus bonked. Legs weren't real happy even before the bonk, which wasn't a big surprise given my lack of running in general and double-digit runs in particular. Got it done in 2:45, though.
