75F, 73%. 7:43 AP. Ran on the Leon Creek Greenway again. I got lost a couple times but finally just ran IN the creek itself (it's dry) until I could spot the main trail again. It felt a little cooler today, but I couldn't get going for anything (feeble, feeble progression attempt on the way back). Maybe because of the speed from Friday, since my legs are not used to doing any kind of work. I mentally caved pretty quickly as well.

Skipped yesterday, but this makes for 6 runs this week, so things are at least moving in the right direction.

The dew point was down to 68, that's why it felt cooler :-)Still not good enough for a real "comfortable" run but better!

6 in a week is impressive and noteworthy. I swear, my Garmin has saved me twice when I was running in unfamiliar neighborhoods and thought I was on a path back to the car. Had I continued the way I was going, I'd have been miles from my car and never knew it. It would have taken a day or so before someone sent out a search party. Count yourself lucky! Haha
