| AM: 63F, 88%. 7 @ 8:42 AP. I think I'm starting to prefer the Saturday LR instead of Sunday...resting on Sunday gets my running week off to a better start (unlike today). Still targeting Wednesday for a nice long LT workout.
PM: 83F. 5 @ 8:13 AP. cold air arrives tomorrow! Kinda sad how excited I get over changes in weather patterns. And by "kinda," I mean "extremely."

| AM: 57F. 8 @ 8:21 AP. So nice outside! I just did some dirt/grass plodding but tomorrow it's on!
PM: 60F. 5 @ 7:51 AP. on the way back I did 8 x 30 sec @ mile pace+, 90 sec jogs. Felt a little awkward, like a cartoon character whose legs take off before the rest of his body.

| AM: 49F. 14 @ 7:07 AP. Had today circled for a big workout thanks to the front that came through. 7 warmup miles, then 4 x 1.5 @ LT, with quarter mile recoveries. I averaged 9:13 (6:09 pace) for the 1.5's and the recoveries were 2:05-2:10. Splits were 9:18, 9:12, 9:12, 9:10. I didn't leave any gas in the tank today, ran my eyeballs out. It'll be 6 months before we see 40's again so why hold back? Anyway, I've run similar workouts faster before but given the direction my training has taken (lots of 8-minute miles) this was very solid. And it was good to get in a lung-burning, snot-producing, grunting, drooling, wheezing, coughing, hallucination-inducing effort again...last one was probably Cowtown.
PM: 71F. 4 @ 8:26 AP.

| AM: 53F. 6 @ 8:47 AP. Should still be decent tomorrow, so I'll squeeze in a LR. Next week we're back to crap weather.
PM: 79F. 5 @ 7:51 AP. 6 x 1 min @ 3-5k pace on the way back.

| AM: 56F -> 62F. 22 @ 7:11 AP. Fast Finish long run today. Ran 17 easy then the last 5 @ 6:26 AP (6:25, 6:23, 6:34, 6:26, 6:20). Felt really good today. After 8 weeks of high mileage I finally have a little spring in my step again. I thought it would only take 3 or 4 weeks, but whatever.
