The brief flirtation with fall last week has given way to another week of summer.  Heat index over 80 this morning before 7am for my 6-miler around the neighborhood.  Luckily, at about 4.5 miles, a light rain showed up and made things a bit more bearable.  Circuit training this evening - must get back to that and core work on a regular basis!

Threw on the headlamp (with fresh batteries - made a difference compared with last week) and hit the trails before sun-up today for a nice trip around the figure 8.  Tentative first couple miles so I didn't break an ankle, but then pressed the pace on down to 7:48, 7:46, 7:28.

Started my weekly north loop time trial run at the track this morning so I could do the first 10-12 minutes on the track before the sun was up.  Bonus was that I got to hear about Travis' morning workout... they started a bit before 6am!  Today was 3x1,600 with 90 seconds rest - 2 weeks ago he went 5:15, 5:35, 5:18 on this workout - today he did 5:16, 5:15, 5:04.  Trav and coach were both quite pleased - coach did admit giving him 30 extra seconds before the last one.

Trav inspired me to go under 5 minutes again on the 0.8 mile north loop - 4:56, same as last week.  Added a couple miles cool down to bring the total to almost 5.

Hilly 5 miler in the neighborhood this morning - one of my "go to" runs for two-a-days when I was playing around with marathon training - ahhh, the good old days. Pretty sure I'll take tomorrow off, and then hit the track on Saturday - no XC race this weekend.

Quite the lovely midmorning run and track workout today.  Still in the low 60s when I rolled to the track at about 10 - nice.  Did 2.25 warmup on the trails and then 6x300 on the track.  Was thinking I'd just go about 5K pace (for me around 66-68 per 300), but the first one at 60 felt pretty comfortable.  Walked 100 for rest between.  Did the remaining 5 at 60, 60, 59, 59, 56.  Finished up with some barefoot striders and 3 laps around the infield.
