Woke up at about 4:45 (15 minutes earlier than my alarm was schedule to go off). Drove into work...in the dark. Wow..no traffic. I could get used to that.

Ran 6 times around the Motorola plant (6 miles) before meeting Jo and Eric for our Thursday hill workout at 7:15. Jogged over to "the hill" and ran 8 repeats. Run up, walk..then jog down.(The hill is about 0.15 miles at about 6% grad...it takes between 45 and 60 seconds to run up. Not that big..but we'll take it.)

AP: 9:00

80F, no noticeable wind.

Looks like you are starting to hit it hard for SGM. I'm expecting big things this year.
