Explored the area to the east of Elgin, and ran at a moderate to hard aerobic pace, 7:14 avg.  I wanted to do some MP but had a headwind the whole way back and quickly gave up on that idea.

AM - 10 @ 7:52 AP.  early and dark.  In my old job, if you weren't flying, you just had to show up by 8:00 am, wink, wink, nod.  For my new job you have to show up at 8am sharp, which takes place a lot earlier in the day than 8am, wink, wink, nod.  I live about 15 miles up the turnpike from Fort Sill, in a small town called Elgin.  Hills!  I have hills now.  I think I will like it, running-wise, more than Abilene, although the climate is basically the same.  I have more options out here.  The best part is the super-long east/west county road right outside the neighborhood, perfect for days with a strong south or north wind.

PM - 74F, S 20-29 mph.  I was too lazy to fill in all the old weather for the last week, but I'll start putting it in again - I do find it helpful when I look back.  4 @ 8:24 AP

Going to start really pounding out the miles, I think.  Really the only change is more of these little PM recovery runs, but I should hit 80+ for the next 4 weeks or so.  I've still been pretty lazy as far as workouts.  Basically nothing since my HM, but I'm planning on 10-12 @ GMP on Sunday.

64F, 100%, S 13 mph.  7:58 AP.  Tired legs, and I forgot to bring anything to drink.  Given the amount I sweat, it was a little too warm and muggy for no liquids on a 2-hour run and I dehydrated a bit.  Made for some 8:20s on the way home.

AM - 65F, S 17-25 mph.  6 @ 9:02 AP.

PM - 73F, S 14 mph.  4 @ 8:36 AP.

It's been awhile since I've averaged in the 9's for a run, but I always let the legs dictate the pace on recovery days.  I think they were trying to tell me something this morning.
