Buttsweat Towel© season has begun

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:  58F.  7 @ 8:47 AP.  looks like I'll completely waste this cold front doing recovery runs.  At least they'll be pleasant.

Looking forward to my athlete alerts today!

PM:  69F.  5 @ 8:16 AP.  Ran at lunch - great weather here today.  Congrats to Boston finishers!

PM2:  2 mile walk with my youngest daughter.

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.

AM:  70F, 97%, foggy.  7 @ 8:51 AP.  Fog Plod.

PM:  78F, 81%.  4 @ 8:19 AP.

Seems like fast running blog has been a little dead lately.

AM:  71F, 97%, raining.  7 @ 8:15 AP.

PM:  76F, 87%.  4 @ 8:10 AP.

PM:  82F.  4 untimed miles with the dog around sunset.  Was gonna do a long run this morning but I woke up to hail, lots of lightning and flooding.  Tomorrow it is.
