78F, 72% humidity.  This was the first time in a couple weeks that we actually dipped below 80 in Abilene, although it came with a little humidity.  Definitely not complaining though!

7:44 AP today - felt good today so did the standard feel-it-out-but-not-too-crazy progressive run.  First 7 miles in the low 8's, then 7:40, 7:40, 7:38, 7:32, 7:27, 7:24, 7:15, 7:03, 3:11 (for the last 0.51).  Good way to end the running week after the stinker on Wednesday.

Nice run Joe ... we should have been running together today! :) You were kickin it that last 1/2 mile!

From Dan on Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 20:34:41 from 24.209.83.20

Nice run Joe, those are some good progressive splits - I will refrain and weather comments.

Nice run! Glad the temps are a bit cooler for you! I ran in the heat today and it about killed me! yuck!

From derhammer on Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 03:41:26 from 87.209.226.170

Great job - I think those paces are really going to drop this fall with some cooler temps.

Great run Joe! It's amazing how cool 80 degrees can feel after triple digits. I see you are doing good running long in the Kinvaras.

JG - yeah, felt good so I added a half-mile at interval speed

Dan - thanks, although we finally got some rain last night...amazing

S8 - it kills me too, I'm glad there are different seasons

DH - let's hope so!

April - thanks, I've been trying to do every other 15-miler in the flats to keep the achilles/calf area strong.
