Hot, humid, windy, yucky. Beautific tornado weather, horrific running weather. I had to go for it right after visits at 2:00 in the afternoon or I wasn't going to get a run in this tornadic evening. I started a speed workout but abandoned it, sadly, 4 intervals later and opted to just get some miles in. I was just too stressed and miserable to do it right. 8:23 average pace warmed up two miles 8:56, 8:42, then started my lame windy humid horrible intervals with .25 recovery(not enough, not today) .5 at 6:14 pace, .5 at 6:08 pace, .51 at 6:29 pace(slipping), .51 at 6:27 pace oh FORGET IT already. I just ran some more miles after this and looked at the gray lowering clouds. Went home, everyone made it home from school okay and David is home from work and there is a tornado on the ground in Cheney one county west of us. I'm really glad that I at least got to get a run in. Off to an evening glued to the weather channel and I really must go stuff some more peanut butter, oats, honey and water into the basement closet. I can keep a big family alive on peanut butter and water for days in a disaster!!! Peanut butter is the wonder food!
