Buttsweat Towel© season has begun

79F, 90%.  5 @ 8:02 AP.  Did a pitiful little pickup on the way back.  That was my last run in Houston, but it's not any less miserable back here in SA.  Arrived at lunch to a 104 heat index which I assume will keep going up.

Tomorrow, headed to Bandera for several hours of sufferplodding.  Must adapt.  Must adapt.  Must adapt.

AM:  76F/90% -> 83F/77%.  ~18 miles.  Good run in Bandera, some solid suffering took place.  Cool-ish start with overcast skies turned into full bore sun and heat the last couple hours.

Good company as well - anytime you can find a bunch of people willing to wake up early on a holiday just to spend hours running/sweating through rugged terrain/hills, getting leg-whipped by sotol cacti, tripping on rocks, and still smiling the whole time, you know you've found a good group.

PM:  93F.  5 @ 8:27 AP.  Decided to double up, simply because I had the time to do so.

77F, 90%.  6 @ 8:34 AP.

Untimed...don't even remember what shoes I had on.  Usually I can narrow it down to a couple pairs, but I got nothing.

TM.  10 @ 6:54 AP.  Progressive fun with lots of button pushing.

This week was pretty much a blur of work/life chaos, and running suffered, so I made sure I got in this ridiculously early run despite no sleep.  Although I must say it was pretty nice being the first (and only) person in the fitness center at work -- pristine toilet seats with no distractions before the run, good solitary exercise at a gym of all places, and then first one to christen the shower after its nightly cleaning.
