| Very tired last night. Thought I might be getting sick or feeling the effects of overtraining. Felt better in the AM. Workout #1: 5 mile easy run at lunch Workout #2: SDTC Track workout which included shorter intervals and downhill strides. My year old Garmin Forerunner 305 finally kicked the bucket. It had been acting up for a while. Fortunately, Garmin will replace it. Until they do, it will be difficult to monitor pace and distance.

| Felt tired and a bit washed out today. As a result, I took an unscheduled day off with hopes of regaining my vigor later in the week. |

| Still tired this morning but ran a comfortable, relaxed 8 mile run with buddy Brad. Tomorrow I'm up at 3:30 AM for an early flight to DC. Time changes as different weather are going to make the next week challenging for training. |

| Morning run with Marine WWII Vet Vic Bond, age 85. What a privilege! Vic is a very dedicated runner with over 40,000 miles logged. A fine gentleman and I tried to get him to tell me all his secrets. This will be a workout I remember for a long time. |
