AM:  60F, dense fog.  16 @ 7:33 AP.  I wanted to get in some miles @ 50k pace, whatever that is, but legs still have a good layer of marathon stink on them and felt pretty heavy.  Last 2 were sub-7, the first such miles since Houston, and I kept an honest aerobic effort coming home.

AM:  38F.  6 @ 8:12 AP.  Legs felt good, better than before my MLR yesterday, which is weird.

PM:  49F.  5 @ 7:58 AP.  Lots of romping around on trails again.  Daylight is magical, I can see where I'm going; why didn't anyone tell me?  Can't do these trails in the early-morning darkness...

AM:  41F.  7 @ 8:18 AP.  I'm starting to enjoy my easy days more for some reason.  I used to hate them due to the boredom...

PM:  4 mile TM plod, at least I got to watch some ESPN.  They only replayed the game-winning interception 1,369 times in the 34 minutes I was on the tread.

Came to the realization I need to go long tomorrow as it'll be my last chance with our upcoming vacation.  It'll hurt a little, but I'll get it done.

AM:  43F.  22 @ 7:13 AP.  Up and at 'em at Ridiculous O'clock this morning to get in a Wednesday LR.  I did it as a long out and back, starting at the bottom of the Leon Creek trailhead at the shady bus station on Ingram, and made it about 3/4 mile from the Drury at the top before hitting my 11-mile turnaround.  Maybe one day I'll do the whole thing.

I ran 10 easy, then picked it up slightly to a steady pace and did the last 12 in 1:22:38 (6:53 AP).  It was tiring - I was probably a mile away from an ugly bonk, but it's done.  17 days post-marathon is probably a little too soon for a run like this, but now I won't be worried about trying to somehow fit it in on vacation.

AM:  43F.  6 slow miles; probably good that I forgot my watch at work.

PM:  44F.  4 @ 8:38 AP.  Sweat levels were low enough that I decided a shower would not be necessary before returning to work and going to a staff meeting in close quarters. What a timesaver!

42F.  8 @ 7:57 AP.  In the neighborhood.  Fly out to FL this afternoon.  Our travel agent sent us a detailed, packed agenda for when we hit Disney on Sunday.  I can already see a couple days where running will probably get squeezed out, but I'll try my best!

36F.  9 @ 7:47 AP.  Never knew it was so cold in FL!  Ran from my aunt's house near Gainesville.  It was a nice run -- their motto here must be No Street Goes Un-sidewalked. In San Antonio they're anti-sidewalk.
