67F, 93%.  7:38 AP.  Couple days of non-running again...sheez.  Danielle and the kids were in town this weekend though and we had a great visit.  Saw the new house, went to the Alamo, Riverwalk, Sea World, etc.  Really bribed the kids into thinking they want to move here!  They left this morning and I won't see them until the end of the month, unfortunately.  Sounds like I'm divorced or something.  This month can not go by fast enough, we're ready to be moved already...

Anyway, tried to take advantage of the unseasonably cooler weather and pick up the pace toward the end.  I'll log 3 "fast" miles because they felt like aerobic threshold.  The actual paces were a lot slower (7:00, 7:01, 6:49) but hey, gotta work with what ya got.  One day I'll become a runner again.

No rush. Just ease along and wait for the fire to return!

I think I just turned into a walker. :-(

I had a 5-7 mile tempo a few weeks before the marathon and it was right at 7:00 pace. I was upset, of course, but the effort was right and you take what the body gives you. At this point, a little razzle dazzle is good I think.

As for becoming a runner again, if Bam didn't promote you from hobby jogger to halfway decent runner (as he would say) consider it done with your 2:58 in Boston.

Nice push Joe. That humidity you run in has to be equivalent to adding a couple thousand feet of elevation.

Nice workout Joe. Looks like I'm once again one of the very few Oklahoma runners left on the blog. When did you relocate to San Antonio?

Sounds like quiet the adjustment all around. Come on July!
