Welcome

Sunday crew run with Allie, Birthday Boy, Fritz and Nate. Nice morning. Tacked on almost 4 more around SHP with Fritz.

I left my salad at home so I ran home ate the salad changed shoes and came back to work. I only had my watch for the run back to Research Park and that was 8:00 average. Legs felt a bit sluggish but it was also warmish.

Recovery pace along BST and up dry creek a little way. Just over 45 minutes total.

AM

6 Easy with James on the JRP/legacy parkway. Waking up at 5:20 was quite a shock but a perfect morning to run with temps in the low 40s. Threw in a few strides.

Lunch

Had to stay close so a treadmill run. Warmed up two and did four at "5:42" (+15-20 seconds/mile). Cooled down one. Probably close to MP but I'm not counting it! My assistant got to see me shirtless so maybe that stays on despite the poor ventilation. About 45 mts total.

Lunch run on the BST with Adam. Felt good. Lovely day.

Wowzers! The rain relented and there was a beautiful opening for a run. I went out with Adam and we saw the storm returning as we headed back north on the BST near emigration. It was dark and ominous and it slammed us pretty good. I hurried back to the office getting belted by small hail pellets. Our receptionist was sure I was a goner and her face was glued to the glass looking out for me. Got in just over 35 minutes. I considered finishing on the treadmill but I was soaked. No reason to suffer in the offseason.

Registered for the DesNews Marathon today. Not a goal race other than the goal to finish third.

Muddy Jeremy Ranch Road run with Fritz, Matt, Jake, Nate and Chad. Chilly wind but otherwise very nice other than the company. I hurried the last bit to beat the 7 minute guy.
