Easy 9 miles after work with Richie. Warm and a bit humid out this evening. Felt a little sluggish today.

AM - due to business travel this afternoon, I went out early today and covered another solid session.  Speed work.  8 x 800 @ 5-10k pace with a 400 recovery.  3 mile warm up and then 1.5 miles cool down.  With the exception of the first rep which was at 3:04 the rest were all at 2:58-2:59.  Very controlled, not easy by any means, but never in distress or anything like that. Nice getting it out of the way early in the day too.

AM - early run in Atlanta - rainy, windy and a bit hilly.  Easy 10 miles regen run from yesterday's workout.  Felt ok, maybe a little tired from yesterday's workout and business travel.

AM - chilly start - nearly 30 degrees cooler than yesterday.  2 mile warm up then 4 miles at HM for a nice threshold run.  2 miles cool down.  Felt very good and crisp this morning.  Quite happy with this session.

AM - 12 miles easy.  Went out a little late this morning and with nothing to eat, felt a little tired and hungry toward the end.  Windy day, but pleasant in the upper 50's.
