| 80F, 66%. 7:30 AP. My legs were somewhat fresh from a week of doing no challenging running whatsoever, so I was able to hold a decent pace on a pretty warm morning. The last few days it's gotten up to 107-108 in the afternoon, which translates to some steamy mornings. The lack of humidity helped, but I was still wilting a little at the end. |

| 78F, 69%, S 10 mph. 7:43 AP. Easy run with some strides and hill sprints at the end. The last few sprints actually felt smooth and non-awkward, which is a change. |

| 82F, 60%. 7:46 AP. I thought if I felt good I might do a progressive finish run. I did not. | |

73F, 73%. A lot cooler this morning, so I knew I needed to get in a workout. I did my last recovery run yesterday to the track and it looked ok. The lanes weren't painted and it felt a little soft, not quite as springy, but runnable for sure. So this morning I went down there for 4 x 1600.
I did the first repeat in a nice, controlled 6:15; felt like I was ready to start dropping that down, but about 200m into my second repeat, a worker guy yelled at me saying I couldn't be there because they were doing construction on the track (he was the only guy there and was not doing any construction). Well, the first thing I did was finish the lap (on the track) because I don't like being scolded. Then I jogged across the grass to talk to him. His explanation was actually pretty good - apparently they put the track gunk down in layers every couple days, and you're not supposed to get any "foreign oils" and other stuff on it. I guess it did feel kind of sticky. Anyway, it shold be done within a week or two.
Well, I didn't put on my second best pair of flats for nothing, so once I got off the busy road, I did the last 2.75 miles, a good uphill push for the first 2 miles, back to my house to get my 4 fast miles. 6:46, 6:33, 4:30. | |

| 85F, 56%, 8:15 AP. Warm, but I slept in - 8 hours of sleep! If only there was a way to get that much every night. | |
