PM - 6 miles easy with Richie in St. Pete around Feathersound.  Had to be in town for a couple of days and made it a point to get a quick run in with him.

PM - 4 more after work from the hotel.

AM - 4 miles easy around the lakes in Carillon before work.  

PM - roughly 8 miles more or less with Richie at lunchtime in St. Pete.  Interesting observation - while Florida is exceedingly hot and humid for running, for me, the pancake flatness of the terrain is a remarkably mitigating factor to that tropical environment for this activity.  So even though uncomfortable, draining, and drenching (from unevaporating sweat) the flatness of the ground really makes things much easier and perhaps more bearable than one may realize.

PM - tough but good workout.   1 mile warm up then wave tempo 6 x 1 mile @6:30/7:30 - alternating paces followed by a final mile at 6 mins.  Wore me out.  Pleased though with how solid I felt throughout.

PM - roughly 6.5 miles around the golf course behind my house.  Never actually ran on it before - concerned I may be in the way of golfers or get asked to leave - but I ventured out today in really nice weather -- upper 50s in the late afternoon.  Saw more deer than folks playing golf (literally saw one foursome and a twosome) said hello and went on my way.  Really quite pleasant running.
