Pretty good morning (69) with more humidity and some wind.  Today's plan was to do 5 x 1000 with 400 recovery in 4:10 (6:40 pace).  Went to the track and did a 1.5 mile warmup then did the repeats and finished with a mile cooldown.  Most of them felt good.  The first one was tough getting going but after that they went good and felt like it was about the right pace.  Not too easy but not to hard either.  Here are the splits:

1 - 4:07, 2 - 4:06, 3 - 4:05, 4 - 4:06, 5 - 4:05

Nice morning (62) and sunny.  Just an easy recovery run after the workout yesterday.  My legs were a little tired but felt better as I went along. Good run.

Nice morning today (65) and sunny.  Building back up on the long runs so glad to get this one in.  Started off I felt tight and sluggish but felt good later.  Picked up the last four miles to between 7:45 and 8:00.
