Jefferson High School (reverse direction) - 9 miles, no watch
Mid-40s. My kind of running weather (the other option is 70-80 with ~25% humidity but that doesn't happen)

I'm with you on the temps. 70's with low humidity is pretty impossible for some reason though. Nice track work yesterday. Big group!

Sunday-Tuesday it was 70-75 or so and humidity from 70-85%. Sunday wasn't fun, Monday was better, and Tuesday was doable and I thought, "if every recovery run is like this I will survive." Just took it as the body was able (thus my continued practice of no watch). Doing a workout would have been a different story (Wednesday was cool and overcast).
Yesterday was a bit embarrassing, but as I have said you have to go with where you are at. I ran some pretty hard 400s (5:00-5:18 pace) for my abilities and I was happy with those. I am running with college runners, and I have to remember that. Even out of shape they are faster than I am in PR marathon shape. They have put the work in historically. I haven't. I am working on it.
And now it would seem that most of that comment was addressed to me and my personal blog/diary ether, but you know me well enough by now, Matt, that my responses are never short :-) Hope you are getting some relief.

So you ran this as a strict constructionist? Antonin Scalia would approve!
Obscure historical allusion to be sure.

I had to do some research on the Wikipedia. It either refers to my style of response or the reverse direction of the loop, which incidentally "reverse" is actually the original direction. The original distance was 10k.
Or something else. I could use at least as many history lessons as running lessons.

Jefferson was a strict constructionist so if you ran Jefferson in reverse…
Actually, Scalia would approve of the regular Jefferson.

Now I see. Jefferson would likely not approve of "Jeff" as it is known. Not exactly the height of academics (pretty low graduation rates as I recall). They do have a 10-lane track though. Locked up tighter than Fort Knox because of the fancy turf on the football field.

I view locked high school tracks as an abomination and a challenge. I had to jump two fences a couple weeks ago to get on to the Provo High track.

I think I'll put it on my list of things to do before I leave.
I realized for the first time the other day the Purdue track is usually open. I've never run on a legitimate track with a rail and lots of markings I am not literate in.

You'll get familiar w/ all those random marks once you take up the steeplechase, Jason.
Rob - the locked gates was probably a sign from the universe to stay out of Provo :-)
