It was a good run this morning, though, the last 4 miles I was a bit tired.  My running partner didn't show up for a while so I ran some easy mile splits until she arrived:  10:30, 9:51, 9:41, 10:07, 10:10, 9:57, 10:40, 10:10.  then ran 3.94 miles fairly hard with an AP of 9:47, then jogged slow to cool down for about .36 miles.  I felt the temperature and humidity this morning 82 with a humidity of 62%.

Woke up this morning with a scratchy throat.  Hopefully will pass soon.  Did 5 miles at marathon pace and I actually felt pretty good.  Legs were a bit tired, though, from yesterday's run.  Here are the splits:  9:05, 9:03, 9:18, 9:03, 9:12    AP 9:08.49

Not a good night for sleeping.  Quite hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable.  BUT, still did manage to get up and run.  Ran 3 miles w/u (sno...before my partner arrived :-) splits:  11:06, 10:53, 10:35.  Then did our bridge - university hill route (though I've decided to rename it the eternal hill) and our AP was 9:43.  It was a good run.

Oh what a beautiful morning!  We had lots of rain yesterday afternoon and the place cooled off.  It's still humid, but at least much, much cooler.  Had a nice and easy w/u 11:10, 11:01, 10:39 then we took off on our bridge route over the Niger River.  Will probably be my last run over the Niger unless another unplanned event brings us back here.  So, it was a nostalgic run.  Kept a decent pace AP 9:31.

Today was a speed workout.  Warmed up a mile (11:31) then did 12 one mile repeats with about .15 mile walk in between each mile.  I was shooting for 30 seconds under MP per mile so target was 8:45.  It was extraordinarily humid this morning.  By the end of the workout I was literally sloshing in my shoes.  NO exaggeration.  Here are my mile splits:  9:34, 8:54, 8:42, 8:45, 8:50, 8:48, 8:48, 8:52, 8:48, 8:54, 8:59, 8:43.

Good workout but I was very tired.  Now off to the zoo!
