4:15am - 7.2 miles in 53:00.  Incredibly cool out this morning!  No humidity and I thought I saw my breath on the first couple of exhales.... perfect!  My legs are still a little sore from Tuesday's total mileage, but I must push on.  

Average pace for this morning was 7:21.... I was surprised and happy when the computer spit that number back at me. 

11:30am - 3.2 miles in 22:42.  It's nice to get out of the office and run away sometimes.  Run-away, Run-away, Run-away!

4.5 miles in 36:32.  1.25 miles on the road leading up to Great Hill trail, 2 miles of the nastiest roots, rock, reggae on the loop and 1.25 back to the house.  Good times.

9:00pm - 2 miles.  Damn if I could just get up @ 4am every morning I could log some quality miles.  Anyways, I'll take what I can get.... even if it is pitch black and I ate 2 million insects.

Ran to Great Hill Conservation area and back to my house - 4.5 miles.  Lots of Japanese beetles trying to get me off the trail.  They were dive-bombing my head and trying to nest in the back of my afro.

Do what you must Green-Beetles.... you just push my pace and make me stronger!

After work 2.2 miles to Pratt's Brook loop and back - 20:24.  I've got some lower belly pain that is nagging me right now.  Wish I knew what it was.... feels like I've done a million sit-ups and can't get a full breath.

Went to the Gym with Wifey!  Chest and Back.  Finished the workout with 2 miles on the treadmill.  It was my first time running on the gym treadmill..... seems like a lot of people knock the mill, but I actually enjoyed being able to look in the mirror and see my stride.  I wouldn't be able to do it all the time, but in a pinch, it works.

4 miles @ work - lunch break - 29:49.

I ran about a mile from the Hospital to a trail head called Old Rifle Range Conservation Land.  It's a 122 acre plot of land that was originally acquired for use as a rifle range for World War 1 troop training.  Along the main trail there are 4 abutments with hardware spaced to provide targets at 200, 300, 600 and 1000 yards.  Pretty cool trail.

Went to the High School track this morning with the family.  1.5 miles.  I ran the first mile in 6:28..... a far way off from when I was younger.  How do the elite athletes maintain those ridiculous times?

4:30 am - 4 miles - 32:07.  Although the temps were perfect for running this morning, I just didn't have any pep in the legs.  Maybe this afternoon.

11:30 am @ work - 4 miles - 29:20.  Way hotter than this morning, but a better pace.  Legs still feel drained.

My neighborhood 3.1 mile - 5km route - 20:46 (un-official) PR.  I've been feeling pretty flat lately with my running, but this might just be the spark I needed.

4.1 miles @ lunch break in 30:12.  The heat has broken a bit and the run felt good.  I'll try for some more miles later today after work.
