69F, SSW 17-25 mph.  Hot and windy this morning but I still had a great tempo run.  8 easy, then 6 tempo, followed by 2 cooldown.  You better believe I set myself up for success again, taking out the headwind up front and leaving all tailwind/crosswind for the tempo part.

8 easy - 7:41 AP.

6 tempo - 6:24 AP (6:39, 6:29, 6:30, 6:26, 6:24, 5:57)

2 cooldown - 7:43, 7:36

Overall for 16 miles - 7:12 AP

Pretty excited.  I really clawed my way down to sub-6 on the last mile, pretty hard effort, but sometimes you just need to know you can do it.  The 6:24 average is even inside McMillan's suggested tempo pace range for me, albeit at the slow end.  As warm as it was this morning, I'll take it!

One more 80+ mile week then I will start to throttle back a bit.  In one week, I'll do 22 w/ 12 MP; that'll be my last MP run.

51F, NW 10 mph.  7:23 AP today, felt really smooth and finished up with a MP mile.  I think I'm finally adjusting to 80-mile weeks, although this is the last one for quite awhile.  I am going to keep these mid-week 15-milers going after OKC though; I think they have been big endurance builders for me.

68F, S 12 mph.  8:28 AP.  Big run tomorrow.  Weird that my last big training run for Houston fell right on Christmas, and now Easter for OKC.

It's been a busy week at work and the family is here in OK this weekend, but I will catch up with everyone Sunday evening.
