50F.  13 @ 7:24 AP.  Perfect morning.  Might not get another like it for 6-7 months.  Felt pretty good and closed it with a 6:14.  Fortunately yesterday's adventure didn't leave me worn out.

That gives me 70 miles for the week, not bad considering the missed runs earlier this week.  Hopefully back up to 90 again next week.

AM:  65F, 90%.  7 @ 8:16 AP.  I didn't think this would happen but the weather for Hells Hills on Saturday is tempting me.  Going to watch it another day or two to decide.

PM:  71F, 74%.  4 @ 8:17 AP.  Sore throat today.  Getting sick would change my mind if that happens.  Let's see how things feel tomorrow...

AM:  65F, 95%.  10 @ 7:45 AP.  Definitely have cold symptoms...it's the kind of stuff you can run through but may not necessarily want to enter a 4-hour race with.  We'll see...I kinda need to decide soon so I can start either resting up for it or not.

PM:  76F, 61%.  4 @ 8:17 AP.  Just noticed this is my first month over 300 miles since before the Summer of Joe.

AM:  68F, 95%.  14 @ 7:30 AP.  I guess by doing a MLR today I'm deciding not to race this weekend.  I was never that excited about it anyway...  I'll do a long training run instead that is $100 cheaper.

PM:  80F, 51%.  4 @ 8:08 AP.

AM:  69F, 87%.  7 @ 8:35 AP.  Legs still seem pretty sluggish but I swallowed a couple recovery gnats so I should be good for a long run tomorrow.

PM:  75F, 81%.  4 @ 8:19 AP.  More gnats massacred.
