80F, 71%.  7:44 AP.  No run yesterday - we woke up early to get down to Six Flags in Arlington as it opened up for the day to celebrate my daughter's 6th birthday.  It was fun - draining, hot fun.  Spent 8+ hours at the park as it topped 100 degrees - I had to carry around the 4-year-old half the time, so I think that qualifies as a workout.

Anyway, this morning I went out from the hotel and found some cool places to run - to The Ballpark where the Rangers play, and from there to Cowboy Stadium.  Then there was a nice little path down a river so I looped it and then did a lap around Cowboys Stadium.  Then the other way doen the trail and back.  Ended up with fewer miles than I would've run at home but I was pretty tired from yesterday so it was plenty.

75F, 80%.  7:33 AP.  Traded a little heat for a little humidity but it felt nice (it actually rained for a few minutes last night!)  Ran mostly easy/moderate, with some strides and hill sprints at the end.  Trying to psyche myself up for some 400s on Friday - it's been awhile, and I am trying to stay in touch with 5k pace better than I have in the past.

73F, 83%.  8:09 AP.  Nice and cool for my recovery run this morning; should be even better tomorrow morning for my intervals since a front is coming through.

72F, 59%, NNE 10 mph.  A little cooler today.  12 x 400m at the track, 200m active recoveries.

Average was 1:25.6 (1:31, 1:22, 1:28, 1:24, 1:23, 1:25, 1:26, 1:27, 1:25, 1:27, 1:26, 1:23).  For my sub-18 5K goal, I need about 1:26, so this was a little under that, which is good.  There was a definite headwind on the backstretch which hurt a little so a good effort, all in all.

Ran in my new racing flats and they tore up the back of my heels...bummer.  Now I have some blisters to contend with (not to mention a bloody sock).  All my other shoes have little grooves or something similar in the back, I guess to prevent that from happening, but not these for whatever reason.  Maybe I can cut these or something and try to modify them myself.
