Itty bitty progression run.

6:41 am, 43° F, 64% humidity, winds calm, very light rain, just enough to make the road damp and make my glasses spotty.

I drove to seminary this morning and then ran after that. That doesn't leave me much time for running, but I'm not up for much distance these days anyway. I started out really slowly but then got going a little better, so I decided to push it just a little bit and make it a little progression run.

There was a really horrible smell, like vomit, as I went around one corner of a busy intersection where there are a lot of retail businesses. After I got around the corner I saw two guys with a big tanker truck and a big tube going into the ground behind a restaurant. I'm guessing that that was the source of the smell. I was glad when I got past it.

Easy run.

6:42 am, 39° F, 50% humidity, wind 5 S.

Monday and Tuesday. How about that? I haven't done that in a while.

 I slept in a little this morning because my boys have no school today because the middle school and high school are polling places. But I still have to get the girl to school and get myself to work, so I better get crackin' now.

It was a little cooler this morning and I actually felt kind of cold when I was going into the wind, but was quite toasty when the wind was behind me.

Easy run.

6:07 am, 46° F, 33% humidity, wind 5 S.

I probably would have skipped running today if I hadn't been meeting Lindsay. I went up to Greeley last night for an orchestra concert that my son played in and I didn't get home until midnight. But maybe I can take a nap today since I'm taking the day off from work. The elementary schools are off today to compensate for the middle and high schools being off on Tuesday, so I've just got my little one home today with the big boys gone.

I cut the run a little short and split off and came home instead of running all the way back to Lindsay's house before running home. That cut about a mile and half off of what I would have run otherwise. But I'm tired this morning.

AP: 9:44. Splits: 9:35, 9:38, 9:51, 9:46, 0.65 @ 9:51.

Nearly a progression run.

9:00 am, 52-57° F, 29% humidity, wind 4 S.

I really slept in today and then got up and went to the Highline Canal Trail and ran all by myself. I went to the trail because I'm kind of tired of pounding the pavement around my neighborhood.

I've been running in long pants lately because the mornings are getting cooler, but I wore shorts today and I'm not very used to that. My increasingly thunderous thighs got a little too friendly and are now both red and screaming.

I didn't really keep a close I on my pace, I just tried to get a little faster as the run progressed, and I really tried to push it the last .35. So I'm calling that last .35 fast miles. I was planning to run 6 miles but then decided to run for an hour instead. I turned around after 30 minutes, but went a ways beyond where I started on the return trip.
