AM - easy 3.0 mile recovery run with middle daughter (16 yr old) Riley before church.  Just broke up with her boyfriend yesterday evening and asked if we could go for a run together in the morning.  I enjoyed chatting with her - good bonding time.  .

PM - 20.00 miles on the treadmill at the gym after work at 7:19 pace.  Other than being a bit bored and impatient to finish, I felt very comfortable and relaxed the entire time.

PM - lunchtime 5.0 mile recovery run around Feathersound and the Carillon lakes.  Legs felt pretty heavy and sluggish today following yesterday evening's long run.

PM - lunchtime on the treadmill - cruise interval workout.  5 x mile @ 6:10 pace w/a 1 min rest.  2 mile warm up and 1 mile c/d.  This was a good workout for me.  Had a few doubts a couple point during the last two - but hung in until the end.  That pace is manageable for me but just on the edge of being really tough as the miles begin to add up.  Definitely a mental element involved too.  Good confidence builder workout.
