Buttsweat Towel© season has begun

75F, 79%.  7:25 AP.  Another...sigh...3 days of no running.  So I put on the fast shoes, took a caffeine pill to see if I could at least artificially get the legs moving faster.  Got my butt up (somewhat) early to take advantage of a decent running day (considering it's mid-July in south central Texas).

7 easy then 3 tempo @ 6:41 AP (6:48, 6:48, 6:27).  Actually, better than I expected and probably better than I deserved.  It would have been faster but my leg muscles have attrited "due to a period of extreme inactivity."  It's the summer of Joe!

77F, 77%.  8:35 AP.  Legs tired from yesterday.  But when you only run 20-30 miles a week, just going up stairs makes your legs tired.

75F, 95%.  8:10 AP.  (8 miles)

PM: A PM run!  82F, 70%.  Decided to head out in the evening for a quick 3-miler since some rainfall cooled everything off nicely.  It was pretty quick, too, just a bit over 20 min.  The truth is I probably won't run tomorrow, so kinda needed this extra run if I'm ever going to get back in shape.

74F, 96%.  7:48 AP.  Kind of a slog.  When we lived in Elgin, my summer limit was 12 miles without taking any liquids along, but I think here it'll be 10; I was kinda thirsty despite chugging 20 oz before I left.

Pretty decent week so far, by my recent (low) standards.  Maybe I can turn things around...

74F, 98%.  8:32 AP.  Another run!

yeah, I didn't run today....bad slowjoe.

BUT, I'm headed to a group run in the morning - something I found online.  Maybe I can find a training partner here, now that I'm in a good-sized city.  Someone should invent runner's classified ads where you can list your paces and what your training for.
