Long Run in Disguise

At 555AM (triple nickel) this morning, the air was hot and wet. It wasn't a sauna, but it was seasonally steamy. There is a rumor that the Indian Summer is ending today or tomorrow. There was also mention of an annual benefit we always love; the switch back to Standard Time. Do we love getting an extra hour of sleep? Please, we work out every day. We need every second of rest and recovery we can get. Although, it is a little unusual going to sleep at 7:30PM, having had dinner at 5.

We set out this morning in search of dry ground. As there was none, we never stopped. We kept moving, running. We finished our third mile this morning at PRUMC (a.k.a. The Church) which also serves as the second mile of the world famous Peachtree Road Race. We stopped for 10 minutes and stretched on the front stairs of The Chapel. Then we lined up, fired The Gun (not really) and cruised a tempo mile. The final mile was a cool down. So from an elevation standpoint (see the link for elevation chart), we ran easy up hill to the high point, stretched, hammered the false flat then easily finished the steep decent.

PBC split up and ran long. Todays menu was 1) out and back (Valley) 2) Point to Point (Lowes on Peachtree Industrial). 8:45 was ideal for running

IT DID NOT RAIN A SINGLE DROP DURING BOOT CAMP TODAY.
