PM - 10 miles easy on a very humid afternoon.  Did not feel all that great.  Oak pollen season is starting and I took an allergy medicine last night - still has me a bit groggy.

AM - on the hotel treadmill (had to wait for a turn...) cold and raining outside in Atlanta and I was doing a workout, and did not want to slip out on the roads.  Hated this workout mostly because of the poor condition of the treadmill.  6 x 1000 @ 10k pace.  Hit the first 4 at 6 min pace - last two were at 6:10 - (who knows what the calibration was on the machine) - 2 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down.

AM - 6.5 easy cold miles this morning after a late night in Atlanta.  Will try to get some time for a few more miles this evening after a day full of meetings.

AM - 11 miles this morning in Atlanta.  I had gloves but they were a little wet from yesterday's run - and so the cold wind this morning seemed to "ice" up my hands.   Very uncomfortable "thawing" them out in the shower afterwards.  Richie joined me as he is in town too for a meeting this morning.  Good conversation - decent run.
