AM:  10 on the TM:  4 warmup, then 0.75 mile repeats, jogging a quarter mile inbetween.  I decided to start at 9.8 mph for the first rep, and increase it by 0.1 each rep until I couldn't do anymore.  I envisioned making it through 7 or 8, but made it through 5 (10.2). Then did some strides in the cool down...win some, lose some...

PM:  88F, 57% (HI 94F).  5 @ 7:58 AP.  Took my business outside - we barely got any rain from Bill, so my creek trail was fine.

Do Ks. Everything is better with Ks.

Can't believe I forgot about the benefits of the metric system.

Sounds like a great line from Fletch, "Ah, come on guys, it's so easy! It's all ball bearings nowadays."

Glad you have a TM for your Texas "winter". I think I'd rather run in -10F and get frozen eyelashes and nose hairs than in the moisture-laden air of a high summer dew point.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 14:05:48 from 12.182.148.249

I've definitely never run in -10F, but frozen nose hairs doesn't sound fun.

I always forget you end up on the TM this time of year. Sounds lime Russ and I could share horror stories on the other end of the spectrum. Nice run Joe. That's impressive on the TM.
