Total Distance
4.00

Had to rush this morning because of early meetings at work (it's usually not a good sign when your boss calls at 7:30, good thing I was back by then), and just got a few miles in through the streets and hills of Manette. I meant to add a few more in the p.m., but I got home late and gassed from a long, stressful day. So it goes. My legs were tight and pretty dead this morning. I'll see how they feel tomorrow, but I'm going to try and get something with a little uptempo in it, maybe just a tinman tempo for a few miles. I was thinking that 800 workout James and a few others have done recently, but that may wait.

I got the motivation to get up at 6:00 am from running with you last year at this time. I think the other guys have realized that it is nice to get a workout done before going to work.

You should do a 4x800 meter workout. I was going to wait until after this 30k before doing any track stuff, but I decided I might as well start now, and it might even help me.

Did you ever hook up with that other Washinton guy?

We haven't met to run yet, but I have his email address. Turns out he lives over on this side of the water, on an island just off where I'm at. It's about 40 minutes away, but we may meet next weekend and car pool to a race. Small world on the blog here, I guess.

I did a tempo run instead of 800 tonight, I need to find a good track to train on.
