AM - treadmill tempo at lunchtime.  Appx 2 mile warm up and then 3 miles at 6:48 pace and down to 6:41 pace in the last mile.  Felt about right for the effort.

AM - 5 miles in some heavy wind and rain in Northern California (San Ramon) near San Francisco.   Just wandered around to get in some miles.  Ended up getting a bit hillier than expected - and rain and wind was pretty significant.  Really slow pace - and higher HR than planned.  Got into the hotel very late and got up very early.

PM - 5 miles at home after taking a red-eye flight home yesterday evening.  Limited sleep, but my daylight hours were not wasted in air travel back home.  On the other hand, I am really tired.  Decent enough run - but felt sluggish.

AM - 5.5 miles or so with Finn - fairly quick pace - it was a day when I felt strong and so I just went with it.

PM - lunchtime treadmill workout.  2 mile warm up then 3 x 800 with a 400 rest; then 1 x 1200.  800 cool down.  Avg pace 5:50 per mile.  

Unplanned workout really - until I just decided to do it when I got to the gym.  Felt solid. With the restriction of just 5 miles per day during my recovery (hopefully only until next month) - I have been trying to do some tempo efforts and faster runs to mix things up a bit when I feel the urge.  But I am not really doing anything with a plan or goal in mind.  Just enjoying that I can do it.

AM - early start because I have to travel today back and forth to Nashville today for a business meeting.   5 miles with Finn.  Slow start for me, but good to get Finn outside even though it is still a little on the chilly-side for my liking.
