| 80F, 85%. 8:17 AP. Nice sunrise run on Padre Island. This would be a tough place to be a runner - I wonder if this is what it's like to be Tom K...

| 82F, 85%. Just a 30 min run before everyone got up. Got a little too much sun yesterday; I should've reapplied the sunscreen a bit more! Danielle had some kind of allergic reaction to sunscreen. We used to love the beach when I was stationed in Pensacola...10 years ago. Now I guess we're old and having all kinds of issues. The good news is the kids are having the time of their life.

| 80F, 90%. 8:34 AP. About 2/3 of this was on the beach, where vehicular traffic had packed the sand down a bit. Once I got to the part of the beach that said "4x4 recommended," I turned around. I guess I'm a 2-wheel drive runner.
Driving back home today. I'm impressed with myself for running all 3 mornings on our mini-vacation, even if they were dinky little runs. Exceeded my expectations by 300%.

| AM: 73F, 85%. 8 @ 7:41 AP. Back to the grind in the frigid San Antonio air. Passed a guy on the trail who appeared to be wearing jorts, a hydration belt and tube socks. I had "YMCA" in my head for the rest of the run.
PM: 4 TM miles, 7 x 45s strides from 3k pace down to 1-mile pace.

| AM: 73F, 85%. 7 mi total. Ahhhh, workout fail today. This was attempt #2 at a 2 + 4x1 @ 10k. The last attempt was also a fail and I swore I'd move the workout to the nice climate controlled gym, but with the DP only at 68 this morning, I went to the track. After the 3rd lap, I was already falling off pace so switched it to 6 x 1. After a 6:12, the next rep was 6:18 and took an incredible amount of effort. I actually did several cartoon-like double takes as I'd check my splits every lap..."wait, whaAAT?" Wow, I ran so much better just 1 week ago; conditions were a little tougher today but still reasonable. Anyway, pulled the plug, broke into a walk, then did my standard jog of shame: sad, right-hand circles in lane 8. Might do a mini-workout on the TM this afternoon.
PM: mini-workout on the TM, 5 mi total. 2 mi w/u, then 4 x (.25 @ LT, .25 @ 5k-3k, .25 ez). I used 9.7 for LT, 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8 for the 5k-3k, and 7.0 for ez. If you understood all that, you are a running nerd.
