Nice weather came one morning too late for the meet yesterday.  I hit the trails this morning to a light breeze, lower humidity and low 70s on the thermometer.  Supposed to be like this all week... right up until next Saturday for the local XC meet - hmph.  Having some left hammy tightness past few runs that isnt really worsening or improving.  Gonna run through it a couple more days and just crank up the icing and ibuprofen.

First really awesome weather of the fall - low humidity, 75 degrees this evening for a 5 miler down to Lake Jackson and back.  Steady drop from 8 min to 6:55 pace per mile.

Not quite as gorgeous as yestereve, but very acceptable.  Met up with many track club members for a Dash 'n Dine charity event for a couple of runners whose house burned down a couple weeks ago - bleh.  We all chipped in cash and gift cards etc and had some cookies and bagels afterwards.  Now I'm halfway through a beer and then bed.

Beautiful morning in the neighborhood, but I didnt get out the door in time to do the 6 miles I had planned.  Ran a decent 4, dropping from 7:46 to 6:45 per mile - nice weather is a big help to dropping the pace lately.  Unfortunately, the left hamstring remains pesky and it didnt loosen up until about a mile and a half in this morning - bleh.

Ran the 5K course this morning before Trav's meet and then another mile and a half or so shootin pics.  Boys and Girls took the team titles and Trav got third overall just under 17 again.  Boys didn't toe the line until 10:30 so was about 85 degrees and humid - was an ok result for the hilly course and weather conditions.  Hes looking forward to racing flat and hopefully cool over in Pensacola next weekend.  Should be about ten guys in the 16 flat or better range over there.

I committed to participate in a FSU exercise physiology study starting Tuesday and lasting 5 weeks.  A downhill running/recovery study for a "natural" supplement claiming enhanced recovery after intense workouts.  Should be fun.  Free VO2 max test before and after, and some other metrics as well.  Have to run an hour at -2.5% on treadmill next Thurs and then again at end of study.
