Easy progression after I took T to the baseball game. He wanted to hang around after the game and get autographs from the team. I got a kick out of seeing this 6-5 kid standing among the four-footers in the line. He got Andy Wilkins to sign his ball and Brett Eibner, Collin Kuhn and somebody else I can't recall to sign his bucket hat. But he got a kick out of it, and so did I. One of the things I've liked about him is as he's grown up, he hasn't lost all of the child in him. Sometimes he's 19 going on 30, sometimes he's 19 going on 7. And he's just fine with that. So am I.

Anyway, back to the run. It was a good one. Legs felt pretty good, despite a bit of sleep deprivation.

Intervals at FHS tonight. With Ron not there, we decided to do 800s at 5K pace in my instance, with 200m recoveries. Warmed up for a mile, did all my reps at 3:30 or below, capped by 3:14 in the last one, then warmed down for 5.5 laps to total 24 laps. Garmin quit in the middle of the warmdown, but I got all the reps timed. Again, the Garmin thinks the FHS track is less than 400m. Whatever. Reps were 3:29, 3:30, 3:25, 3:20, 3:21 and 3:14.

Slow recovery run at JBH. Kept the pulse in the 130s, which is what I wanted.

Stress reduction run after a very bad day. My job is hanging by a thread and may not be there after tomorrow. Got out and did 5 at JBH at 9:26 pace. Try and get some sleep, get up and go to work tomorrow and hope I still have a job when the day is over.
