Pretty EASY day of work: gym visit downtown, then like 2 more patients. N'bad, n'bad.

Amber's got a bum shin, so we're not meeting for a PM run, so I went longer with Jeff: about 8 miles. Did the campus + river loop. No PRE trails but we did run up to Pre's rock.

Back in the summer of '08, I started doing hill repeats up Birch St, and then again a couple times this spring. Good times for me last summer was low-mid 1:40s, and this spring it was tough to break 1:50! So today I decided to go "uptempo" up the hill, ahead of Jeff.

I was breathing relatively hard but felt really good: 1:38. That was very cool. I needed that.

Kept it pretty easy on the way home 'til the "homestretch", where we opened it up. STILL can't beat Jeff, but I'm pushing him pretty hard. ALMOST broke him early today, but not quite. He's getting tougher, too!
