Easy run this morning with Kathy L. and Staci at the WAR room. Too warm, too windy, but not horrible. Wouldn't have wanted to do 15 in these conditions, but I could have done a couple more. That's OK. This will be the recovery week I didn't take last week.

Took two days off because Pfitz said so, then back at it this morning. I'd planned 5 x 1000 at SHS, but legs were very heavy. So I just kept it long and slow. Dredged out an old 10-mile route I hadn't done in a while. Note to self: Don't do that route at 7:30 on a Wednesday. Traffic was brutal and no sidewalks for the first four miles. Nobody hit me though, and I got through it, with one minor GI issue resolved with the help of a vacant, overgrown lot... Maybe I'll do that speedwork Friday. Maybe not.

10K after work at SHS. Kinda cruised for 24 laps, then semi-busted the last one. Felt OK. We'll see how it feels when I try to do 1000-meter reps tomorrow night. IF I try to to 1000s.

Tyler drove himself to the airport today while I was at work to fly to SC to visit his mom. I drove home, changed clothes, ran to the airport (the long way), picked up his car and drive it home. Wound up being a 6 mile run. Didn't feel like running at all, as two quick trips into the bushes re-emphasized. Legs were OK, GI wasn't. But I got there without undue mess. No way I could have done the speedwork I had been scheduled to do.
