78F, 69%, S 10 mph.  7:43 AP.  Easy run with some strides and hill sprints at the end.  The last few sprints actually felt smooth and non-awkward, which is a change.

Good run. I thought maybe we were on the same program until you ran yesterday. I'm using Pfitzinger's 55 to 70 plan. Are you on the 70 to 85 plan, or some version thereof?

Way to keep pushing through this summer heat! Sorry

I've been a bad blogger for a couple of weeks, I just didn't seem to have much to say :-(

DB - I am not on any kind of plan right now, but I do tend to use Pfitz-like patterns ever since I read his book. I think the 55-70 will work out great for you.

IJR - I know what you mean, no worries. We're all ready for summer to be over with. Hope you get healthy soon.

Great start to the week Joe- you are carrying team 'bad bloggers' quite well!
