PM - 10 miles easy around Palm Harbor and the Pinellas Trail. Just enough time to get it in before my flight late this afternoon.

AM - 9 miles easy this morning in Alpharetta before work.  Hilly route - unintentionally chosen. Flight later today to NYC - hoping to leave a bit earlier in order to get a second run in the evening.

PM - 5 more miles on the treadmill at my very toney NYC lodgings.

AM -  good workout in Central Park this morning.  6 x 1 mile at HM pace with a 400 rest.  First two were 6:35, second two were 6:25 and the last two were 6:23.  Little tired as I stayed up late to watch the end of the NCAA Basketball - and had to get out early enough to complete the run before my meetings today.

AM - 5 miles easy before work in Atlanta. Really pleasant spring morning.

PM - 9 more at lunch - quite a bit warmer, lots of pollen.  The Masters Tournament should be really nice.

PM - decent session - 1.5 mile warm up then 6 miles at MP (6:45) and a short cool down. Would have hoped to have felt really strong today - but this was a bit more of an effort than expected. Huge amount of pollen in the air in ATL and although I do not have allergies per se - it was an irritant nonetheless.

PM - 8 miles easy - on a very warm humid and windy day in St. Pete.  Tried to keep this as much without effort as possible - but even with the light pace, I felt a bit off really until the last mile or so.  Hoping the next few days of no-business travel with some easy runs get me to feeling rested and strong.

PM - easy 14 miles late in the day. Decided to sleep in this morning - feel like I may be catching a cold - felt rested and smooth on the run.
