Nice night for a run. 9pm and probably 70 degrees, humidity wasn't too bad. Did 4.2 out and 4.2 back. My garmin is completely shut down, so I had to get the watch back out. I think the entire run was probably progressive through 7.4 miles. I know I hit the first mile in 8:15 and miles 2 and 3 were around 7:30s, which would put the next 1.2 in 8:45 or 7:18s. Next 1.2 on the way back was in 8:12 (6:50s). Next mile was somewhat uphill and I may have been off on the mark, but I think it was pretty accurate. I hit 6:57 on this one and finished with a 6:18 mile. Then did a cool down mile in 7:52. Time out was 31:58 (7:37s) and the 3.2 before the cool down on the way back was 21:27 (6:42s). Total run was 8.4 in 1:01:16 (7:18s)

Some easy base miles tonight, humid but mostly cooler (mid-70s). 8:30pm. 7.03 miles in 54:44 (7:46s). Splits:

8:19, 7:58, 7:46, 7:44, 7:44, 7:23, 7:31 + .03.

12pm, humid and low 80s. Ran home from the car dealership. First mile downhill, 2nd mile uphill and mile 6 and 7 uphill. While this was officially in the aerobic base pace range, the run felt more like steady state. I think I'm losing a bit of base from the decreased mileage I've had the last 2 months. Kids go to school in 3 weeks, things should get back to normal. Splits:

7 miles in 51:39 (7:22s) -- 7:39, 7:27, 7:22, 7:17, 7:18, 7:20, 7:12

Upper 70s and humid at noon. Ran to the car dealership to pick up the mini-van. First 6.85 was progressive in 50:20 (7:21s -- Garmin was actin up again and I couldn't use it) then cooled down for 1.3 in 9:47 (7:32s). I was probably running around 6:45s, so 7:30s was a reasonable cool-down pace. Total run was 8.15 in 1:00:07 (7:23s). Today felt a bit better than yesterday, the end was a touch of a push, but most of it felt like aerobic base instead of steady state aerobic.

Upper 70s and humid at 5pm. It had just rained earlier today, so the humidity was fairly excessive. Was planning on 11, but at the 5 mile mark I was having some GI issues and decided that I should turn around and head back instead of pushing on and around the full loop. I also cut about .5 miles out by taking a different route back. 9.5 miles in 1:09:52 (7:21s). Similar to yesterdays run, progressive, but this time with garmin splits.

7:58, 7:36, 7:28, 7:34, 7:18, 7:11, 6:58, 6:40 -- switch to cool down mode 7:13, 3:51 (.5 miles @ 7:44s)
