AM - got up early before business meetings and did a treadmill workout. A bit travel weary - but wanted to get a decent speed workout done before the day got away from me. 2 mile warm up then 4 x 1000 at 3:30 with a 3 min rest then 4 x 200 at 40 with a 40 second rest then 1.5 mile cool down. I was really at my limit on the 1000's - but glad to get the run done and in the log.

PM - after work meetings and before dinner - easy 5 miles on the treadmill. Very tired legs.

Where on earth are you?

Mumbai, India, Rob. Not the most runner-friendly city I have seen...

Come to think of it, I'm not sure who the last great Indian distance runner was. Or the first.
