Picked up the pace more as a result of stress than any true intention in today's short run. Very humid evening and the sweat was excessive.

My mid-week run is just a long-ish run until I am back in full swing and then I will try to get into tempo running once more. Very lucky that a cool front came through in the late afternoon as it made the temperature much nicer. Incredibly strong winds from the north though.

Well today's 3.00 miles will leave me 1 mile short of my goal for this week. Unfortunately I had to cut my run short in order to stop at the Lawton Philharmonic Orchestra rehearsal in an attempt to help them solve a computer-related technical issue. Wasted an hour determining that the software they had rented to display high definition space images synchronized to the orchestra's playing crashed even when you installed all of the prescribed programs onto a laptop. Oops! Hope all those people paying money for tickets to the concert like the low-res space pictures.
