AM: Similar to Last Saturday's workout, but added one more 3mile AT effort.  jogged over to race across town and did some strides/pickups when it got closer to race time.  local 5k again - I've run this one the last couple years.  No ringers showed up today, so after the usual silliness in the first half mile thinned out, I was solo.  Humidit and last 2 days really took their toll in the last mile, but, I was happy that I lasted that long - 5:44, 5:44, 5:55, 0:35 - 17:58 - 5k.  Cooled off with a wonderful water bottle poured over the head shower, got a sip, and ran the course again at 5k @ AT - 20:17.  Got some cookies and nanas from the finish line collected my winnings :), and on with the rest of the workout.  2x3mi. AT with a 3 min. rec. jog - 20:00 & 20:30.

18.3 mi. total - 2:10:15 total moving time
