| AM: 76F, 86%. 6 @ 8:33 AP. Starting to see the same people on my recovery route every morning. There's Happy UTSA Couple on bikes, Girl That Looks at Me With Contempt For No Reason, The Lorax on a Bike (he always waves), and Unhappy Asian Guy Walking (my goal is to get him to acknowledge my presence one day).
PM: 4 on the TM, with 7 x 45s on / 75s off. On's @ 5k pace. Felt good to get the legs cranking past slog pace.

| AM: 77F, 85%. 8 mi. total. Today was the next step in my 5k series of workouts after the last 6 x 800 session. Today it was 5 x 1000, 400m active recovery. Target was 3:45, which is more like 10k pace, but 5k effort in The Death Zone. I averaged 3:44.4. Reps were 3:41, 3:46, 3:46, 3:47, 3:42.
I felt completely done after the 3rd rep, like I would normally feel after the last rep in a hard set. So I walked the first 100m of the recovery lap before the 4th and 5th reps, and was able to barely hang in there. At least I finished what I set out to do (for once), even if I took some extra recovery/cheating. Small victory today. After I got back in the car, a nice cooling rain began to fall - cruel tease from the running gods.
PM: 4 on the TM with some more aggressive strides than usual.

| AM: 74F, 89%. 7.5 mi total. I'd originally penciled in a 13 w/8 tempo for today, but Saturday's slogathon pretty much covered that. So I opted for a much shorter workout; one that Bam suggested awhile back to spur on some improvements: 8 x 200m @ 800m pace, 90 sec off. A 1-mile workout instead of 8 miles...much better.
Anyway, I targeted 35s and averaged 33.0 (32.5, 35.1, 33.4, 33.7, 33.5, 33.1, 33.2, 29.4). Obviously sprinted the last one; felt good though. Basically a session of hard 30-second strides; not really a workout, but not something I ever really do a lot either, so I think it'll be helpful.
PM: 5.5 on the TM. Feeling a little caffeinated and frisky for my TM run - 2 w/u, 1 mi @ 9.7, .25 mi easy, then 2 miles in ~12:00 (combination of increasing speeds).
