am--4.25 Ran from the hotel to the capitol building. It's quite the climb, but the view is pleasant. 
 

I finished another Pepe Carvalho mystery, An Olympic Death, by Manuel Vazquez Montalban. The mystery was never much of a mystery and never truly solved, but the main character was engaging.

am--2.75 Only got a morning run in today. Still feeling extra fatigue. I finished an interesting book by my current fav, David James Duncan. The book is called God Laughs & Plays after a quote from Meister Eckhart. It's got me on a spiritual reading bent.

pm--5.5 Truncated version of the Rim Trails on tires legs, listening to Jonathan Marcus drone on about coaching while he pretends to interview Mike Smith. Ha. Nice afternoon.

pm--6.25 Barrel Roll figure 8. This was basically a 5-mile trail tempo w/ a cooldown. Not sure why I pushed it, but I did. Felt yesterday like life is creeping into my physical well-being.
