78F start, 80F finish, S 14-21 mph. Direct sun for the last 9-10 miles made it a tough one, kind of an oven effect out there.
7:58 AP -- 8:14 pace out (+250 ft) and 7:42 pace back home (-250 ft). Probably an even effort given the elevation change. I ran the hilliest route I could find out here which is mostly dirt roads, so a nice challenge. | |

| 80F, SW 9-17 mph. 8:54 AP. My schedule has moved around a bit - I'm taking Saturdays off to give Danielle the full morning for a long run. Now my running week starts on Sunday (which makes it match up with the blog week) and the long run is the first run in my 6-day block. Anyway, I expect some easy Mondays now! | |

| 80F, low wind, direct sun. 7:50 avg. Went a little longer in the Kinvaras today - they still feel good. I made a pathetic attempt at a couple tempo-paced miles on the way home, and pulled the plug pretty early in the second mile. Some of the reason was laziness but it was tough to get going, maybe too hot for me to do any speed. I am starting to think this is not even a heat wave anymore; it might just be the new reality for the next couple of months. I'm still focused on base-building anyway, but I hate to see myself get lazy and never push myself. | |

79F, S 10 mph. 8:05 avg pace. Really tired and slow to start out, but mostly high 7's on the way back. Just some good slog-it-out miles...
Danielle and I just finished week 2 of Insanity last night (it only took 3 weeks), and it was a tough one -- Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs. We'll get through the program eventually! | |

Danielle found this article about the last race I was in, been meaning to post it... Also, some good news - she was accepted in the Houston lotto, so we will both be doing the full in January. Good stuff. | |

77F, low wind. 7:47 avg. I didn't do this on purpose, but it ended up being a perfect progressive run with each mile faster than the last. Well, the fast finish in the last few miles was on purpose, because I felt pretty good today.
8:43, 8:16, 8:15, 8:12, 8:10, 8:09, 7:58, 7:57, 7:48, 7:33, 7:32, 7:23, 7:09, 7:02, 6:41. | |
