am--9.25 River Trail loop w/ some tempo sections thrown in. It was a decent run. We had some trouble remembering and hitting paces. Now, I'm tired.

pm--4.75 Starbucks w/ striders. Decent run. These short Tuesday afternoon runs are rough on the legs. Perhaps, I need to get in that Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning to flush the junk. Loved the feeling of striders today. 

I finished Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges. Lots of short stories and essays w/ mental gymastics and literary tricks. I found it interesting.

pm—5 Just a run. My RHR is up the last few days, so I’m guessing my less-than-stellar sleep this week is catching up with me. On a more positive note, I felt decent after about 3 miles.

pm--4.25 Out toward Sullivan and back w/ 6x striders after. 

I also finished The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Crazy and sad and surreal.

am—6.25 Some running around the track while the kids did their workout.

pm—2.25 An easy run towards the bank and back.

I finished Kafka’s The Trial. The main character spends the entirety of the novel trying to prove he’s innocent of a unknown crime. It doesn’t turn out well.

pm--4.5 Green Springs. It's been too long. Run was good, and I felt great. I'm also noticing things that make striders faster and easier.

am--8.5 Sugar Loaf w/ some light tempo and a power run, followed by some hills. Surprisingly, the run was great for me. 

I also finished The Overnight Kidnapper by Andrea Camilleri over the weekend. I love these detective/crime novels w/ some culture thrown in for good measure.
