AM: Did some easy running plus some hill repeats with Kim totaling just over 6 miles. Beautiful morning for a run, the wind wasn't too bad and it was just a pretty day to be out. Nice that it's getting warmer and also lighter earlier. Kim did well with hill repeats (6 x 45s, w/ 2 min. recovery), on her blog she said they were 45 minute repeats but we weren't quite that crazy!

Late AM: Did my 2nd run earlier than usual to enjoy the cool temps. Jogged 2 miles over to Eagleview area and then did a similar workout as the one Kim did this morning, albeit with 8 repeats instead of 6. Dang those hills really make me pooped. Overall ave pace 8:50. Not sure exactly on the hill repeats pace as the garmin isn't so reliable over this short of distance. Probably a bit faster than 5K pace.

Thanks for doing my version with me! And I really am glad that my version is timed by seconds and not minutes.

It's great to spend mornings like this with your spouse. I feel sorry for the people that are home sleeping or are stuck in front of the TV watching the morning news. Keep up the good work!

Tom, really like your attiude about every day running is a great day. Appreciating every run, staying in the moment, if very important. No such thing as a boring run.

Stay Kool, nice hill workout, B of BS Rools out

By the way, really enjoy reading Kerry's entries also, enjoying the early morning is special.
