Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

5 Miles in just under 30 mins on TM; Miles 1-3 at 6:00/mile and Miles 4 and 5 at 5:56/mile.

Good effort on a busy day. Some of my best tempo work is dictated by circumstances. I think there's a salient point to be made here about not overthinking and maximizing every training effort, no matter how short (or long).

8 Total Miles including 3 Miles commuting/walking.

I'll take a 3 am run any day over a 9 pm one...

The only thing that got me through tonight's sanity run were visions of John Landy and his late-night interval workouts after a full day of work and graduate school.  For me, tonight's run was more modest, with 8X200m striders at Scott Field and lots of self-reflection.

If only I had Landy's top-end speed...then I could be an Olympian instead of an ultra runner!
