It was warmer today (72) with some wind.  I am planning on running another marathon in Nov and it will be my first one in 5 years so thought I would try the Hansons Marathon Method training plan as something different.  So today it called from 12 x 400 with 400 recovery.  Goal was 1:40.  Went pretty well.  A little slow getting going but got into a groove toward the middle.  Was feeling the effort in my legs on the last couple so pace seemed to be about right.  Here are the splits:

1 - 101, 2 - 98, 3 - 98, 4 - 95, 5 - 99, 6 - 99, 7 - 97, 8- 97, 9 - 98, 10 - 97, 11 - 98, 12 - 96

Warmer today (73) and humidity is picking up.  Just an easy run today.  My legs were tired from yesterday but felt better as I went along.  My Garmin battery died in the run so just took it easy by feel.

Nice morning (67) with some light wind.  I had a little bit of a head cold last night so still didn't feel the best this morning.  Once I got going I felt better and turned into a good run.
