Buttsweat Towel© season has begun

42F, N 20-33 mph.  7:26 AP.  Somehow timed my run to coincide with the cold front blowing through, so I had a pretty good wind for this one.  Saved the tailwind for the way back and knocked out a few MP miles to finish up the run.

Only other noteworthy thing is hitting my first 60+ mile week since March.  Bout time...

28F, N 16 mph.  8:44 AP.  Windchill in the teens, but don't worry about us here in south Texas.  I know we have some very extreme cold here, but we'll be ok.  Upper 60s and low 70s by the end of the week.  Thanks in advance for all your concerns about us during this savage winter blast.

19F, 7:28 AP.  First time since moving from Oklahoma that I had sweatcicles on my hat.  Fun!

38F, light rain.  Today was my last 3k session; I did the same 5 x 800m as always, but didn't think it would go any faster than last time.  I did manage to shave a bit more than a second off the average repeat though, averaging 2:46.1 today (2:46.5, 47.5, 45.8, 47.7, 42.8).

This has definitely been a very productive little speed cycle for me.  Weird that it will culminate with a HM instead of a 5k like it should, but that's just how it worked out.  I'm hoping to find a 5k once I recover from Houston.  I think I'm ready to at least take a stab at 17:59.

52F, foggy.  8:20 AP.

64F, 94%.  Workout fail.  I was supposed to do my 6-mile HMP wave run today but pulled the plug really quickly on it.  Either I was tired, it was too unseasonably warm/humid, or the headwind on one of the straightaways got to me.  A combo of all, most likely.  It always sucks to pork the last workout before a race but I pulled the plug early enough that I can try again on Sunday, although maybe an abbreviated version since it'll only be a week out from Houston.  I still have that awesome 2 x 5k in my memory bank, so I don't think I'm in trouble with HMP, just an off day.
