54F. Felt terrible to start out but when the caffeine kicked in around mile 4, I started running normally. 7:25/mile overall.
Pretty pleasant except for the dogs at mile 8 (and therefore also mile 10). One was snarling pretty viciously and looked ready to bite so I made a move at him and shouted at him as loud as I could and he backed off....for about 10 seconds. Had to repeat the process a couple more times. Then of course I had to see them again 15 minutes later since it was near my turnaround point. My shouting did not wake the owners, I guess, because they were nowhere to be seen. The agressive one was pretty good sized, and could have definitely done some damage. He must have re-formulated his plan of attack over the 15-minute break, because now he was coming at me from behind instead of from the side. So I stopped and charged after him for a few steps and shouted "NO" again. That deterred him long enough to stop caring about chasing me, and he just did his barking from 10-20 feet away after that. The joys of running out in the country... |

| 78F, SSE 17 mph. 8:26 AP. Maybe these little evening 4-milers will help me acclimate sooner this year, so that when the low is 78 pretty soon, it won't feel as bad. | |

Legs are just kinda pooped. I wish I was running Boston this year, mostly because I'm ready to taper now. Just need to slog through a few more weeks. |

AM - 60F. 15 @ 7:25 AP. The little half of a caffeine pill I take in the morning is really helping. It's total agony for the first 4 miles or so, then I'm good to go. Nice smooth run today with the last mile coming in at MP, without much additional effort.
PM - 77F, S 13 mph. 4 @ 8:32 AP. Moved up a recovery run so I have more free time in Abilene this weekend. |

88F, 8:29 AP. Couldn't get out until the afternoon....hot! Definitely back in Texas. The high tomorrow is 94.
I'm going to try a tempo tomorrow, not sure how fast, but I want 6 miles of it. Even if I can only manage MP, I WILL do 6. | |
