38F.  7:18 AP.  I did my "starter workout" to get in the mode of running faster again, a 4-mile tempo.  9 miles easy, then 4 tempo, then I got a short bonus cooldown since I forgot to turn around right at 6.5.

9 easy, averaged about 7:40.  I stopped my watch for a "pit stop" about 5 miles in.  I was out in the country this time (no 7/11s), so into the ditch I went.  I knew once I did it that first time I would get all too comfortable with it and it would happen more and more.

4 tempo, 6:25 AP (6:36, 6:28, 6:22, 6:16).  The 6:25 average is exactly what I wanted (should be my 1-hour pace) so it felt nice to finally hit the right pace in a workout for the first time since Houston.

Great running and great miles this week. I was looking at your PRs -- hard to believe how far out of date your half PR is even though it is less than 6 months old.

Nice tempo. FYI- The sphinkter never forgets. Once it learns that it is in a comfortable, supportive environment it relaxes and drops all pretense. I've been forced to develop a workaround for a certain elem school nearby due to an unfortunate incident that occurred during an early morning run last summer. :)

flat - yeah, I'm strongly considering running a half next weekend in Wichita Falls. Should be an easy PR.

Neil - that is so true, so true. elementary school..ouch!

Nice job, Joe. Good luck on the half if you run it.
