Buttsweat Towel© season has begun

PM:  79F.  4 @ 8:31 AP.  4 mutt miles right after sunset.

AM:  68F, 90%.  7 @ 8:06 AP.  I think my t-shirts can go on vacation until October now.

I put together my running history over the last ~2 years, have a look:

It shows my mileage each month, converted to a weekly number, which makes more sense to me than a monthly amount.  Definitely clears up why my last couple marathons were not great.  At times over the past 2 years, I have been in better shape than the guy who ran 2:58 at Boston in 2013...it just has not come together for me at the right time.

Plan is to run high mileage for the next 6-8 months, continuing what I did last month, run a couple ultras, then a solid January to April marathon training block, and run 2:50-2:55 in a spring 2016 marathon.  If everything goes right and I still run a 3-hour marathon, I will retire to ultras or curling.

PM:  no way on free time today, but I ran the last mile kinda fast this morning...was hoping that would count for something 

AM:  69F, 91%.  8 @ 7:42 AP.

PM:  74F, 74%.  5 @ 7:45 AP.  Short strides (the 8 x 30s variety).

AM:  72F, 91%.  10 @ 7:57 AP.  Swampy morning.  I thought maybe if I felt like it, I'd do a few tempo miles.  I did not feel like it.  This is a just-get-in-the-miles week.

PM:  81F, 63%.  4 @ 8:17 AP.

AM:  72F, 93%.  10 @ 7:48 AP.

PM:  80F, 73%.  5 @ 8:18 AP.

AM:  74F, 92%.  6 @ 8:37 AP.

PM:  76F, 85%.  5 @ 7:30 AP.  Long strides (6 x 1 min).

74F, 95%.  10 @ 8:18 AP.  Stayed up too late drinking beer and watching the stupid Rockets.  This run felt bad.
