| AM - very early morning run around the somewhat sketchy area near the airport hotel in SFO - there appeared to be a path/promenade along the bay, but it was not well lit and went behind some older / abandon looking buildings and so I just ran around the safest parts to get a run in before a long flight back home.

| PM - had a good workout today. 6 x 800 at what worked out to 2:57 avg with an equal rest between each, and then finished with a mile at 5:56 - all on the treadmill. Warm up and cool down. All things are relative of course - I don't know if this TM is properly calibrated, but I do run on this one a lot - and so by comparison to other workouts and runs on it, this is a good/high effort with solid improvement on times that I did not think I would see too much anymore.

| PM - felt a bit tired / fatigued today - so just easy 6. The effort yesterday while classified as "easy" was more like steady-state and combined with the quick run on Sunday - perhaps is the reason I am dragging today.

| PM - 7.5 miles on the treadmill at lunchtime. Although the temperature outside is nice enough - the pollen count is really high; like all of the cars have a yellow /green dusting of powder on them if they sit outside for a short time - and I just did not feel like breathing it today - so I stayed indoors on the treadmill.

| PM - decent workout - 2 x 2 miles at HM pace - with an 800 rest between. Avg'd 6:27 for the first rep and 6:22 for the second one - though my HR was pretty high on the second one. These were on the treadmill since yesterday felt so bad outside - I think although I don't have symptomatic allergies to the high springtime pollen - it might have had something to do with feeling off.
Saw someone in Piedmont Park running with one of these breathing masks a couple of weeks ago. http://www.muscleandfitness.com/features/gear/breathing-easier-training-mask-better-cardio
While the science suggests that it won't duplicate altitude training - it may filter out pollen.
