March 19th thru March 25th


MON. : -19 mi, w/ lots of hills. Last day of "Winter".
TUES. : -First day of Spring.  Had a Shunji massage.  Some light gardening.  Friggin bugs, first mosquito bite and tick kill.  WAY too early for that.  Gotta take the good with the bad
WED. : -9 mi w/ workout. I had wanted to do 8x800, but it was just too hot, 
and I got totally dehydrated. My face was caked with salt almost as much as 
after a marathon, and my mouth was bone dry after the first 400. Ended up 
doing 3x800, then 400/800/400 and I pulled the plug. I was able to keep my 
paces consistent, so I was pleased with that, even if I wasn't able to do the 
whole workout. It was good to have boj out there with me, but I hope to God
I never get passed in a race with someone in those shoes.
