AM:  73F, 84%.  8 @ 7:56 AP.  Good running day, we climbed out of TDZ!  DP was only 68 which felt great.  Weirdly, they were having a race on Leon Creek again.  At 6:30am on a Thursday.  Saw about 10 people with bibs running it.  I even got some cheers as I ran by the aid stations.  Reminded me of the time I ran through the MCM satellite at good ol' Camp Victory.

For my run today, I just drafted behind the 8-minute guy most of the way, and then dropped him at the end.  I know, kind of a dick move, but he's been lording his speed over me all summer.

PM:  4 TM miles, same as yesterday.  HMP workout tomorrow - should be a non-death-zone day again (fingers crossed) so I'll take a shot at it outside on the track.

What in the world were people doing racing on a Thursday morning. At least you got some motivational cheers out of it.

You feel bad about dropping the 8 minute guy? Do you think he feels bad when he beats you? The punk had it coming, in my opinion. (Plus he beat me yesterday, so thanks, Joe)

Matt - there's this I Run Marathons group here that likes to hold daily marathons some weekends (usually holiday weekends) and I guess this one spilled into the week. Great for people without jobs I guess.

Tom - wiped the smug smile right off his face. I waited around at my car for him to finish and then acted like I had been done forever and wasn't tired once he showed up.
