66F, 88%, rain. 7:45 AP. I wanted to run my old dirt roads since we were back in Abilene, but they would've been muddy today so I stayed close to the hotel (lightning nearby as well). Legs were pretty flat until about 5 miles into the run. I'm finishing off my highest mileage week in over a year though.

Track meet tomorrow night. Kind of a weird dilemma though - I need a nice long warmup (today helped prove that) but the heat index is going to be in the upper 90s and I don't know how much sense it makes to run around for 30+ minutes out there, jacking up my core temp. Maybe a couple segments of warmup, broken up by sitting in the car, blasting the a/c? I'll have to think about that one...

I was dealing with much dryer and cooler temps, but I had a good glistening sweat going and my breathing was spiking pretty good during the strides. I thought I was working too hard and wasting my effort but your body needs to be pumping because as Jake said there's no time to work into it. Get enough time on your feet that your legs feel snappy. Get some strides in, but also some longer effort under goal pace (probably 200 meters should do it).
