Not terribly hot (upper 80s), but pretty humid and sunny. 1st 2.25 miles were fairly tough, wind at the back, sun in the face. Just keeping an 8m pace was difficult. Walked .25 miles, then 1 mile almost all uphill (still wind at back, sun in face). Stopped for a quick breather, then finished off the 1st half of the run and turned around. When I got to the bottom with the sun at my back and the breeze in the face I was a new man ... banged out a 7m mile with ease, walked .25 miles and then eased the rest of the run back in.

Nearly 90 today, but Michigan 90 is pretty easy to take with breezes and low humidity (relatively speaking), but the hills out here are trashing my legs fairly well. Just seemed like tough runs the last 2 days.

2 mile jog out to just before the 6 mile mark of the Cherry Festival 15k Race where I waited for my brother-in-law to get off McKinley hill. Paced him from there to the 8 mile mark (6:25 and 6:30) right to the pace he wanted. Felt good to blow the dust off the wheels for a bit (haven't done anything but AB work for a long time). Finished with 2.7 miles easy with a couple slight pick-ups.

8.3 miles, 87, hot and humid. The rain started around mile 5 and my pace dropped at least 30 seconds a mile with a finishing mile of 6:45. Stopped twice for .15 miles to walk in the middle.

Ran out at the in-laws @ Lake St Louis today. The round trip was about 1 mile further than I was looking for, so it was a touch tougher than planned, but all in all, a decent run with a number of AB miles in the 7:30 range. This is good to see, pace is sorta slowly coming down and I feel in a few months I'll be back to my usual 7:15-7:25 comfortable AB pace. Stopped and walked .1 miles about half-way through when I stopped for a drink, plus about .2 miles at the end of a 1.5 mile stretch in the 6:45 range.

Great December day for a run. Windy, but 60 degrees. 8.5 miles @ 7:17s. I'm somewhat surprised at my pace lately. While I'm not really pushing the pace, these runs have been what I would consider 'firm'. I'm surprised that I'm hitting this sort of pace given my considerably decreased number of weekly runs and the fact that I'm about 10 pounds over goal marathon weight. This gives me high hopes that I should be able to crack 3 hours at the Bayshore Marathon in late May.
