AM - 4 miles easy before church - felt pretty sluggish and slow; but expected that.

PM - waited for some storms to pass - which never really materialized here.  8 more miles - first couple were tight and heavy legged, but loosened up nicely and felt good by the end.

AM - 6 miles easy and early before my "commute" to Atlanta this morning.  

PM- after work - bit of a "day" and I was in a poor mood.  Did not want to go outside where it was cold with snow flurries (after having run shirtless at home this morning) so I began a slow run on the treadmill in the hotel, and low and behold about 4 miles into it I felt much better and the world was all good again.  Love to run.  Got in the 8 that I had planned.

Good session today on the treadmill - 8 x 800 with a 400 meter rest.  2:53, 2:56, 2:56, 2:54, 2:52, 2:49, 2:49, 2:47.  Was supposed to do these at 10k pace, but this is the Yasso's workout that I have done in the past and just wanted to see where I was, so I went faster than 10k pace.  Felt a bit tested, but solid and strong.

AM - cold morning - easy slow 7 miles; no soreness to speak of, but a bit tired today.

PM - was able to get out at lunch and do 8 more miles along the Greenway trail - bright sunshine but windy and chilly.

PM - busy day. Headed to the airport early to get my Global Entry interview done and then got an early flight back to St. Pete. Was at my desk early afternoon. Richie called me - he's been care\ing for his father who is not doing well - and he was in need of a break - So we headed out for a run where he could talk and vent.

Had a great workout. 2 mile warm up and about 8 miles at slightly better than MP pace with a 2 mile cool down. We were talking so much, I hardly noticed how quickly we were going.

AM - 6 miles easy this morning - chilly for Florida - 55 degrees or so.  Should have worn gloves.  

PM - 8 miles more at lunch - very nice day out today.  No gloves needed - 70 degrees.  :)
