62F, 80% humidity. The forecast was calling for a lot of wind, so I had Danielle drop me off 14 miles from the house so I could do a point-to-point. Naturally, the strong wind didn't really materialize but it was fun to run some new roads; hopefully I can convince her to do this more often.
I did a progressive run today (more or less), splits were 8:08, 7:57, 8:06, 8:00, 7:47, 7:49, 7:35, 7:33, 7:33, 7:36, 7:28, 7:19, 7:12, 6:54.
AP 7:38.
Interesting that I ended up averaging goal pace for the OKC full. Felt a little too hard today. I felt really hot and sweated huge amounts, but I better get used to it because this could easily be the weather for OKC (plus more wind). May 1st is a little too late to have a marathon down south in my opinion, I wish it was sooner. I might just be running it for the experience, which is ok too. | |

| I ran on my off day...took the racing flats out for a spin and did a couple 400s at 5K pace. It was too nice a morning to pass up. | |

31F, calm winds. I got my confidence boost for the month today; probably had my best training run to date! Goal was easy 5, fast 5, with the only requirement for the fast miles being under 7:15.
Easy 5 - 8:13 AP
Fast 5 - 6:44 AP Splits: 7:05, 7:00, 6:34, 6:36, 6:24.
Overall AP 7:29
Breakthrough, I think. I went to Garmin Connect to see what my last 3.1 miles was, and I ran it in 20:19. So a really big 5K PR after already doing a couple tempo miles. I gotta think I mighta broken 20 if there were a race today, and I was wearing the Sauconys. I really needed this run as I had been feeling slow all week last week. The temperature definitely played a big role today...I must really lose some spring in my step once it gets into the 60s (as it was last week). Anyway, there's a local 5K in 2-and-a-half weeks. I think I will be there. | |

Still happy about my run from yesterday. Hopefully it wasn't too flukish and means I've stepped up a notch in fitness. |

63F, 98% humidity. Juuust about to rain, but I made it back in time. Had to run super early this morning (5am) to catch a morning flight to Houston for an overnight trip. You'd think that weather I posted was Houston, but no, I ran in Abilene. Anyway, as expected, I melted out there; that's too hot and muggy for me. I was able to eke out 3 MP miles at the end, and hated every minute of it. I really gotta toughen up, since the running gods apparently have taken away spring and gone straight from winter to summer.
