AM before work in Greenfield (still).  6 miles easy on some mileage not on the Pensy Trail. 54min.

Lunch time - 6 miles easy on Pennsy - 53 min.

Alot more time to train coming soon.  Seymour District has hired me back in a new mgmt. role!  20 minute commute versus 1:10 minute commute.  Lots of bonus time coming my way!

5AM: Track workout: 10x400m - roughly 5k pace with 200m jog recovery.  Pretty bad.  90sec. down to about 85min.  5 mi. total - 35:14

Lunch run at work in Greenfield:  4mi. ATish . 6:50-7:10 pace  6mi. total - 44:50

Doing pretty well at keeping up with the training so far.  100mi./week is challenging with this commute.
