83F.  5 @ 7:13 AP.  First chance for a run came at 9pm, so I took it.  Surprising bit of pep initially, this is the second time I've seen that with these late night runs.  I started out with some fartleking, but soon got hot and tired and cruised in at a medium pace.

Treadmill.  14 @ 6:53 AP.  Did a 6 x 1 with 1/4-mile recovery jogs, and managed to get to the pain zone a little sooner than I did last time, which was way too conservative.  Speeds for the 6 reps were 9.8, 10.0, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.8.

AM: going to hold off on running this morning.  This afternoon/evening, the heat index will be in the 100-105F range, triggering hazardous weather warnings, so we're meeting up at Bandera later to spend several hours running in it.

PM:  20 evening/night miles on the trails in Bandera with a good group.  Fun night!
