AM - easy TM run - 5 mi.-41:40.  I actually started out walking on the TM this morning.  HAving a bit of trouble getting going in the mornings

PM - lunch run on the TM - 4mi. AT (9mph).  6:40 felt nice and easy aerobically.   Some joker hopped on the TM next to me and had no qualms about doing his stretching techniques while walking on TM.  I would have been alright with it too if he hadn't bumped me on the head a couple of times.  6mi. total - 42:22.

AM - Long Run in the park.  Ran solo for about an hour before everybody got there - hits some trails.  About and hour and a half with the group all on roads.  Trails were mudfest and I caught my turf toe on another root and returned the pain and suffering from 2 weeks ago, which was fun.  45-50 degrees this morning also.

17.6 total - 2:25:5x.  Ate 2 gels and water.
