Have my parents over for a few days, so instead of running, I played golf with my dad.  I actually shot an 85.  It was definitely a forgiving course, and had some reachable par 5's, but I was hitting it much better than I expected given that I only play 2-3 times a year.

I guess I will find some spots this next week to sneak in some extra mileage.

79F, 48%.  7:34 AP.  Easy, plus some strides and hill sprints toward the end.

Gonna be hot this week - highs in the low 110s, but at least it's a dry heat!

78F, 53%.  8:23 AP.  The low humidity makes it bearable.  The one good thing about a drought, I guess.

81F, 53%.  7:43 AP.  Normally a tempo day, but I knew it would be ugly and disappointing if I tried.  So I didn't.  Too hot.  And I'm good with that.

82F, 44%.  8:46 AP.  tired trot to the track (best alliteration ever).  They had just painted it red/orange, but no lanes yet.

It is supposed to hit 114 degrees today (it was only 112 yesterday), so I doubt I will be doing a workout tomorrow anyway since it's going to be a warm morning.  maybe a slow workout, we'll see.

82F, 46%.  7:26 AP.  No workouts this week at all so finally, with 2.5 miles to go, I picked up the pace for a little progressive mini-tempo.  Last 2.5 were 6:39, 6:29, 3:07.  I focused on the uphills, doing surges on each one.
