WOWZER...that was hard.  Hard because I started at 4:00am.  Hard because it has been way too long since I've run long on a road.  Hard because I'm out of shape.  SG might be kinda ugly!

Chill Ms. Toby, 4 am is an ideal time to get in a run....it's cool, dark and quiet!

From Toby on Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 16:16:34 from 96.86.213.202

Allie: Not really motivated.... it was ugly. And dark. And I could smell a skunk, but couldn't see it. Blah!

Bec: I am running SG, but I have done NO speed work. Just for fun this time!

Smooth: We need to run together soon!

Tom: It definitely was cooler....thank goodness!
