Wasn't feeling that great today (but the times are okay) so cut the run to 7. Went to a pro roper's yesterday for a full day of roping instruction so I think I was just tired.

Same run as yesterday but hotter. A little more effort to bring the pace down a couple of seconds per mile. Temps drop tonight and we'll have 30's & 40's for my morning runs for the next few days! (But also supposed to be wet.)

72 degrees (in December!), 87% Humidity, Dew Point 68, Wt Beginning 155 - Ending 152.

Just another 7.25 but with an 8:30 target and low HR run. Feeling a bit tired and not confident to jump up to some double diget miles after my 16 mile fail the other day. Finally got some cool weather but it was aweful windy! 57 Degrees, 90% Humidity, Dew Point 54, 25 MPH wind.

Man, terrible weater here. Low 40's, windy and rain and sleet for two days. Finally decided to go to the gym and run on the TM. Ran 9 on the TM and went outside and ran 1 in the cold wet weather. 8:15 on the TM and a 7:38 outside.

Ran the small loop today. I sent my Garmin in to have a new battery and the buzzer fixed so I'll be running naked for a few days. Best I could tell it was about an 8 minute place. Weather was great at 43 degrees, 60% humidity and 30 degree dewpoint.
