am--8.5 Just over half way to the summit on Suicidal Tendencies. Nice group and fun push at the end. The light has an autumnal feel the last few days. I've been getting some longer sleep the last few days. RHR--52.

I finished another book this evening--Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield. The book is a fictionalized retelling of the 300 Spartan warriors who knowingly went to fight their last fight against the massive army of Persian Empire. Without pulling any punches, Pressfield recounts the training and character of these Spartans. Dark yet inspiring.

am--4.5 DI/Bank. Caroline was feeling a bit sick today . . . so she decided to push the pace. A small group went w/ her. I couldn't resist either. In the midst of the push, I thought about reining them in but figured a little assertiveness is a good thing for this group. RHR--49. 

pm--6.5 Green Springs walkabout w/ barefoot strikers after. Nice group for a little longer. Feeling beatific. Maybe I'll listen to some Kurt Vile and pretend it's the '90s.

am--3 Harts/weights/Harts. Decent run. The iron lounge was crowded w/ ball players, so weights wasn't as smooth. RHR--51.

pm--6.5 Telegraph out-and-back w/ 4x 200 after. The run was okay. I'm tight again, so the hobble is in effect. I still hit pace on the 200s, but the girls killed me. Good sign? Yes. I'm 40.
