Class didn't start till 9, so I had time to run in the morning (and got to sleep in till 6!).  It was chilly (low 20s) with some wind (approx. 10 mph).

I ran 2 warmup miles (at about 9:20), then 2 fast miles (at approx. 7:40 apiece), one recovery mile (@ 9:10 or so), 2 more fast miles (at approx. 7:55 pace), then about 1/2 mile home. 

Honestly the second set of fast miles felt hard.  My stomach was sloshing around a little and I don't know why because I hadn't had anything to drink before going.  So I was relieved to be done.

Then I ran around 3.6 with my bro, who is visiting.  We ran about 9:30 pace, and that felt slow, but necessary.  This wasn't a great feeling run, but whatever.

And Luke's bone marrow transplant yesterday went fine.  Now he's going to be very susceptible to infection for the next few weeks--I can't remember exactly how long--and will be in isolation for quite some time.

I'm glad the transplant went well. Hopefully he won't be too bored in isolation!

Great fast miles! I think you needed the slower ones with your brother! I thought he didn't run much anymore?

He's really spotty. But he is running the Shamrock Shuffle (not with me) so he is getting back into the groove of it.

I'm glad Luke's transplant went well. I hope the next few weeks go well too.

Nice speedy miles in there.

Speedy miles! It is funny that you consider 6:00 sleeping in:) I am glad Luke's transplant went well.
