| 68F, 95%. 7:50 AP. Last run in magically-cool NE TX, headed back home today. Nice run from the trailhead down to Pleasure Palace and back. No CSI team there this time.
Recovery runs are always a little faster in the Type A's.

| AM: 76F, 87%. 7 mi. total. Today was ol' reliable 5 x 800m @ 3k, 2 min rest. For some reason, it's the only workout I've been consistent with all summer - maybe it's just not that hard to do. Anyway, another success today, averaging 2:45.2 (2:46.4, 2:46.1, 2:44.8, 2:46.8, 2:42.0). The nice thing is I've built a little history now, for comparison's sake.

I almost think today might have been the highest quality of the four, given the temp. Either way, it was definitely in the sweet spot.
PM: 4 on the TM, with a pu pu platter of different pickups (sorry, I had Chinese buffet for lunch). Incidentally, if your buffet behavior is anything like mine, it takes more than 3 hours of buffet recovery time before you should attempt a run...ugh.

| AM: 78F, 73%. 7:50 AP. Snub day today. I was probably at an 80% snub rate when I gave up and stopped saying "good morning" to people. Girl That Looks At Me With Contempt For No Reason was back after a hiatus, and had two friends with her today, who also snubbed me. Finally the Lorax came riding by and gave me a ding and a wave.
I also have a new nemesis, Shirtless College Kid. We always pass each other going opposite directions, and after snubbing me, he waits a second, turns around, and mows me down. Of course this is always in mile 1 or 2 so I'm powerless to respond. One of these days I'm going to be warmed up and feeling competitive and there will be a showdown. With my luck he's probably on the XC team at UTSA or something and will defeat me easily, at which point I'll be forced to commit seppuku out of shame, but I've had a good run.
PM: 4 more, same drill as yesterday. Workout tomorrow.

| LT day, but too warm for that kind of workout, so I took my medicine and went to the treadmills. 3 miles w/u, then a 6 x 1 w/quarter-mile recoveries. My plan was to start at HMP (9.5 mph) and work it down to 10 mph for the last one, but the legs felt a little heavy today so I scaled back the paces a bit once I got to the 4th rep, to make sure I could finish it. Splits ended up being 6:19, 6:15, 6:11, 6:11, 6:19, 6:04. Avg rep was 6:13. Recoveries were all 2:14 (6.7 mph). I've had better days, for sure, but I was pretty beat after finishing so I think this did the trick. Cooled down until I hit 11 total.
