AM - had to work around some things this morning.  Ran to pick up my wife's car that we had left parked in a lot last night when I met her half way to meet some friends for dinner and forgot to pick it up last night.  Will need to add to mileage if there is time later today. 

 

PM - 8.0 miles timed perfectly for an afternoon storm which was rolling in for the first 3-4 miles and although pretty windy and with heavy rain, it lightened up enough to be a cool shower for the last 3 miles for a very pleasant and satisfying run to finish the week.

You forgot her car?

2.75 tonight for an 80 mile week?

Yeah - I picked her up from where she was for a meeting and then we we to dinner. When we came home we forgot that we needed to go pick her car up before we got home.

Yeah. Will get at least 80 with a later run.
