Buttsweat Towel© season has begun

79F, 8:11 avg.

78F.  It started out around 80 but dropped to a bone-chilling 76 by the end of the run.  Felt very cool.  The 10-day forecast looks especially heinous right now, so it was nice to get this one nice morning.

7:40 AP today.  6 slow miles going out and then picked up the pace coming back (7:26, 7:21, 7:10, 7:06, 7:01, 6:47) averaging 7:08 for the last 6.  Definitely good enough to call this my quality workout for the week.

82F.  8:44 avg.

83F.  8:05 AP.  Today was the day of dirty looks.  I don't see many people out and about where I run, but I passed a guy today who was tending to his goats, and gave him a wave.  His glare almost pierced right through me.  Then there were 2 people out for a walk (this a first on this particular road) and when I said good morning they gave me the most confused stare ever, and said nothing.  What's so strange about a guy running around in the middle of nowhere wearing a fuel belt, reflective belt, and no shirt anyway?  Weirdos.

83F, 8:47 AP.  Warm morning again, whadya know...

83F, S 10 mph.  Somewhere around an 8:15 avg mile, forgot to look, but it took 2:03-something.  Felt more like a 7:15 effort anyway.

Not sure what the deal was, but my legs were dead today.  Normally I can get going after 3 or 4 miles but not really today.  Just felt slow and tired the whole time.  As an added bonus I feel like I ran 20 instead of 15.  Yuck.

I'm trying to get myself ready for a Pfitzinger plan that I'll start in September, and he has a lot of MLRs on the schedule.  Hopefully today was just an off day, and not me trying to over-reach with mileage.
