AM:  68F, 97%.  22 @ 7:37 AP.  Day off yesterday after my wife and I stayed out way way way too late on Friday night.  It's ok, it had been a few weeks since my last full day off.

Trying to keep up the long runs this year, even with no races coming up anytime soon.  This one was a pretty humid run, which made it harder than it needs to be, but I figure it'll only get worse so might as well slog through it now while it's semi-runnable outside.

AM:  52F!  8 @ 8:14 AP.  When I moved to San Antonio, IJR told me we only get one day of spring each year - CHECK!

PM:  76F.  5 @ 7:42 AP.  I did 6 x 1 minute strides, 90 sec jogs on the way back.  Probably closer to 3k pace.  I think I'll try to to these longer strides once a week and then a set of shorter ones...maybe 30 sec @ mile pace?....toward the end of every week.  Cover all the bases.

AM:  67F, 93%.  14 @ 7:16 AP.  7-mile warmup, then on the way back I did a 10k tempo in 41:38 (6:42/mile).  Effort-based - lots of humidity and miles on my legs lately but the pace was still decent.  Cooled down the last .8 to my car.  Buttsweat towel soaked all the way through to my seat today, so it must've been a good effort.

PM:  72F.  4 mile Thunderstorm Plod.
