Crazy Texas weather!  Last Tuesday it was all winter gear and today shorts and a t-shirt, wishing I had worn a tank.    Very hot and humid.   1 mile to CVS, 3.5 with Jenny and 1.5 home.  Harder than it should have been but considering the month I have had, I will take it. 

Signing up for a 4 miler on the 16th....not much time to get in shape.

Yesterday morning we had 20+mph winds and decided to delay our run until the evening.  The evening brought more wind, rain and not getting home from work until 7:30.   I tried really hard to motivate myself to get on the treadmill and it didn't happen.   

Windy again this morning, so I headed to the Y to run on their treadmills (trying to let everyone at my house sleep a little longer).  A 2 mile warm up and then tried to re-introduce my body to speed work.  The foot turn over isn't there yet, so I took a different approach and while the on's were not as fast, the recovery was much faster than normal.   

16x1min on/off

On's at 7:30 pace/Off's at 8:30 pace

Next week I will work on the On's faster with a slower recovery.

Avg Pace 8:28

....still coughing more than anyone should....ever.

Met Jenny for some easy miles around the big block.   Had a little detour through her neighborhood and while she made a pit stop, I did a little bit of speed work.  She finished at 5 miles and I added on to get to 7.   

Crazy thing about Texas:  Monday shorts and T-shirts and I was too hot.  Today, full winter gear and I was freezing.    Mother Nature is keeping us on our toes.
