PM - 9.5 slow miles on a steamy humid evening.  Felt a little rough to start, but kept it easy and felt better as the run went on.

PM - tough workout.  2 mile warm up then 4 x 1000 at 5k pace with a 600 rest; (800 after the 4th) then 4 x 200 at mile pace with a 400 rest; 1 mile cool down.  Did this outdoors using the Garmin workout feature - most of it on the Greenway trail (concrete surface) which was heavily tree covered, so the GPS was a little off  and as a result -- I could not seem to hit the 5:48 pace with any consistency - was either too fast or too slow (mostly the latter) according to the watch and so probably ran this much harder than I had expected trying to get into the right zone.  The 200's mostly were uphill - so those were off too.   Was really tired after this workout.  Gahh.

AM - 10 miles easy before work.  Expected to feel fatigued or sore from last evening's workout but actually felt fine for the first half of the run.  Hills and humidity depleted me a bit by the end.

PM - on the treadmill - surprisingly good workout for a change - 2 mile warm-up; 4x 1 mile @ 10k pace with a 400 jog; 2 mile cool down. Felt in control and solid.

PM - midday run of 14.5 miles.  Looked like it was going to be a light rain - so I thought it may be worth going outside in the middle of the day - but the clouds cleared and it became really steamy and uncomfortable.  A few clouds and a little drizzle toward the end made things a little more bearable.
