Noon, sunny, fairly hot, mid 80s, lower-moderate humidity. 8 miles with a 3 minute water stop at 5.3. Finishing mile in 7:15 (ave pace: 7:31s). .17 miles walking followed by 1 mile cool down at 8:02. Decent run today. Base pace is coming down quickly as the temps are starting to drop. Should easily be doing sub 7:15s within a few weeks if the temps get into the 70s.

9am run. Ugh. I really hate morning runs. My body feels so incredibly sluggish if I run anytime within the first 2 hours of being up. I just need time to work the kinks out, so to speak. At any rate, 80 degrees, sunny, hot, quite humid. Today was the beginning of the Fall Women's Training Group I run. So I ran 3.5 miles up to the track, together we ran 2 miles on the track running the straights (30s) and walking the turns. Then another 2 miles home followed by .5 mile walking cool down. Everything was working against me today. Not enough 'Up Time' before the run, short nights sleep, woke up with throbbing leg from pinched nerve or muscle tightness that I was able to work out with some stretching, and I ate too close to my run. Good thing it was a recovery day.

Temps in the upper 70s to near 80. Sunny, but less humid than yesterday. 7.5 miles @ 7:21s. 3 minute rest after 5. My leg (leg) was a bit sore/swollen feeling near the ankle and behind the knee. Probably a touch of overuse. I'm on pace for 50 miles this week. Haven't done more than 45 most of the summer and only probably a handful of weeks over 40. Thus, the quick break before I hit the longest of the 6 hills on this run. Finished it off with .35 easy jog near 9:00s for the cool down.

At work tonight.  1 mile warm up on track @ AB pace. 2.25 miles of stadium stairs, hitting the ups quick and high knees, followed by .25 mile on the track ABP, then 1 mile of 1/4 mile pace on the straights and easy jog the turns followed by .5 mile cool down @ ABP.
