AM: Luckily we were able to beat the rain this morning and get the run in. Only 5 for me today as this week is a recovery week and the mileage will be down a bit from the past 4 or 5 weeks. Today's run was a story problem run to test our math skills. Kim went out about 5 minutes before me at around a 9:30 pace, then I went out at around 7:30 pace. So how long would it take me to catch her? Well I never bothered to do the actual math but it turns out I caught her between miles 2 & 3. Still pretty warm this morning but I guess that changes for the next few days.  A little breezy on the last couple of miles but coming from the NW instead of from the typical SF canyon direction.

Ave pace: 7:40. Felt harder than it should have. I'll blame it on the wind, tired AM legs, and the hill repeats from yesterday.

Late AM: Couples massage!!!! Looking forward to this. Sounds a whole lot better than going for a 2nd run in the rain.

Almost all our wind comes from the NW here in Vegas and it was howling today. Enjoy those massages.

Can you write 'Couples massage' in bold next time so my wife can pick it out more easily!
