| 71F, 89%. 7:25 AP. Ended up with 1 @ MP plus a faster half-mile or so on the way back. Sticky out there. Had a family of gnats glued to my torso when I was done - this is the official signal that summer has begun.

PM: 4 on the TM, with 6 x 1-min strides @ 5k.
5k pace workout tomorrow. DP will be right around 70, but I'm going to give all these workouts a shot outside first, at least once, before making the call to move them to the TM. I'm pretty intent on staying away from "workout fails" this summer so if I think I'll do better indoors, as much as I hate it, I'm going to suck it up and hit the gym.

| AM: 75F, 82%. 8.5 miles total. Today was a workout day, 6 x 800, 400m recoveries. On my warmup, which is just through nice, normal suburban neighborhoods, a lady slows down in her car next to me and yells, "Wooooo, shirtless!!" Then as she was driving off, a large dragonfly whacked me in the face. I'm still trying to process what this all means.
On to the workout... I wanted to hit goal 5k pace, which was 2:52. I averaged 2:53.3. Pretty close, considering the dew point was about 69 (1 degree shy of The Death Zone) it was actually a really good workout. Splits were 2:54.7, 53.3, 54.4, 54.5, 53.5, 49.2.
The collection of gnats on my stomach was 20% larger than yesterday's.
PM: 4.5 on the TM. Same routine: 2 miles slow, then start playing with the buttons. Today it was a couple quarter miles @ MP, then 4 x 45 sec @ 1-mile GP.

| 75F, 83%. 7:15 AP. 8-mile aerobic tempo today. I did this same route @ 6:30/mile 3 weeks ago (when it was 57 degrees) so I thought 6:50 would be reasonable today, but I was going to be happy to keep the splits under 7:00. So, 5 mile warmup, then 8 @ 6:49 AP (6:56, 6:44, 6:48, 6:52, 6:46, 6:55, 6:49, 6:44).
It was definitely easier to run 6:30 in cool conditions than it was to run 6:50 today. But I'm going to keep this one outside rather than move it to the TM; I don't have a marathon for 6 months so no need to lock in a certain pace, just looking for a good, hard aerobic effort. This is the kind of run that should make me tougher in summer races as well. Glad to be done with it though; I can be happy right now because now is the longest possible time before I have to do it again.

PM: 4+ on the treadmill, about a mile worth of hills in 35-45 second increments. All at 4%, started at 10mph, worked up to 12mph.

|  5 @ 8:00 AP, then headed to the SARR monthly fun run (free!) with the kids. For the hundred yard dash, they grouped them by age and my oldest won her heat. So what if there were only 2 kids in it...(and the other kid was wearing jeans).... Then I paced her in the half mile race, probably went too slow for her but she ran it all in 5:09.
Now we're headed to Abilene to visit some old military friends. Might get in a run Sunday morning around my old stomping grounds...
