AM TM run at gym.  Its raining out side and I might melt.  4 miles with 1 mile at ~MP.  Felt like trash again... 30:40 total time.

PM Track Workout with Nathan.  Central Middle track in the rain/wind.  A little chilly and down right miserable when the wind blew.  Nathan toughed it out and finished the workout.  I called it quits after 3 reps and was happy to be dry and warm in my car :).  1mi./1.25mi./1mi. -  Looks like we did an extra lap on the second rep - that's how not in to it I was ;) 4.85 miles total - 34:13

PM - last White River running Pu run of the year - costumes required.  I wore all my high vis clothing and claimed that my costume was a hi-lighter.  there was one Forrest gump, a Gene Simmonds, and a clever couple with one as Lightning bolt and other with charred clothes and burnt umbrella.  Pretty funny.

I ran 3mi. at TH - WU for mile 1 and then, 6:15ish for 3miles.
