58F, 86%.  18 @ 7:14 AP.  Last 3 were 6:41, 6:35, 6:21.  Back in San Antonio.  Felt surprisingly good, after the first few I-just-had-a-long-vacation miles were complete.  Went to bed before 9pm last night and got 8+ hours of sleep, which was awesome.  I actually slept pretty good the whole vacation in my princess bed, but there's no substitute for your own bed.

AM:  63F, 92%.  6 @ 8:23 AP.

PM:  47F.  4 miles out on the trail, after the cold front arrived.  GPS didn't lock on until the run was almost over, but I was running plenty easy.

AM:  58F.  7 @ 7:52 AP.  Workout tomorrow but nothing too crazy - just want 1 more good aerobic effort.

PM:  68F.  4 @ 7:37 AP.  Worked up a sweat - I'm definitely not ready for Buttsweat Towel Season to start.

62F, 84%.  14 @ 7:23 AP.  It just took me forever to get going today, never felt comfortable until about 10 miles in, then started dropping the pace finally.  Probably just 3 quality miles at the end.  I'm someone that takes a lot of time to get warmed up but that's a little ridiculous!  No matter, should be feeling good by next weekend. Looking nice and cool for the 50k so far.
