10 miles slowly in mid-80's + high humidity. Tired, but good tired. Felt strong throughout. Was able to squeeze my belt an extra notch today. Have lost 10 lbs in the past month- feeling good!

AM- Nice weather for the first time in a while. 1 mile warm-up, 2 all out firm (6:15,6:06), and then 3 back home slowly. Felt great! Will try to go out later in the day to hit 60 miles for the week. 

PM- 7 more miles, including a 3-mile tempo (7:14,7:07,6:55). Mid-80's, yet lower humidity, so tolerable.

The plan was to run 14. However, got caught in a lightning storm and headed for shelter. My daughter found me and picked me up. Still got in 12.
