Headed out around 6pm and it was still mid-80's w/humidity.  Wanted to get a 3-mile tempo in, but feeling the heat, decided to run two hard (6:26,6:16), and then jog a quarter before putting another strong mile in (6:09).  Completed 5-miles and began a small track workout- 4 x 400 (81,80,81,80).  Was about to head home, but then 3 of my girls came by on their bikes (ages 7,12,14), so did a few more intervals- this time 4 x 200 (33,33,33,32).  The two older ones did them all in 39/40 seconds.  We then hit the trails for a few miles before making it home (they on their bikes)- 12 miles total.  This was my first run in about 2 weeks in which I felt healthy due to two separate nasty colds.  Hopefully I'll get back on track.

Ran 5 miles w/my 14-year-old @ an 8:20 pace and then met up with my wife in hopes of running another 5.  About 1.5 miles in two different people stopped us on the road to tell us a huge storm was rolling in fast...the second even offered to drive us home.  We thought we'd be fine, but started to jog home just in case.  By the last 1/2 mile the sky was green, wind swirling, and branches flailing around- a little scary.  We said a couple prayers and made it home just in time.  Brief thunderstorm and tornado watch, yet I believe the worst is past.  8.2 miles total.

Another 9 miles- 1 mile warm-up and then 2 x 2miles @ 6:31 pace...quick water break and then another mile @ 6:30 before jogged the last segment...still feeling sluggish today, but made the most of it.
