Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
8.00	6.00	14.00

75F, 89%. 2 goals today - get in a 14-miler and get in ~6 miles of HMP effort. Still clinging to summer here in Texas, although this was actually the mildest morning in awhile (DP of 72). I elected to do some shorter cruise intervals as that's about all I was confident enough to pull off in The Death Zone. 8 x 1200, 400m active rec. I averaged 4:38 (4:41, 4:40, 4:41, 4:39, 4:39, 4:38, 4:37, 4:27). That's about 6:13/mile pace avg. I switched directions and did right-hand circles for the last 3 reps. Pretty conservative workout for HMP, which let me keep plenty in the tank. This was more of just a stand-your-ground day; cooler weather will bring tougher workouts. Feeling very smart about this one.

That's a nice compromise in the conditions, and those reps add up some something significant.

You're still in the death zone.. It's gotta let up a little soon. We're going to hit 36 and 37 a couple nights this week. Nice workout today. I was pondering doing right hand circles for a while the other day at the track. Now that I know I'm not the only one, I'll give it a try!
