81F, 83%.  7:47 AP.  Ran 4 laps of Memorial park in Houston.  The "feels like" temperature was 88 this morning.  It would be tough to be a runner here (sorry flatlander) when the coolest it gets is a heat index of 88.  Ridiculous.  Good run though, was able to pick up the pace a little each lap.  The nice soft trail felt good too.  Headed back to San Antonio this morning...

75F, 84%. I did my 200s again today - drove to the track, couple miles warmup, then 3 x (6 x 200 on/off).  I didn't do the last rep on the last set, and actullay kind of phoned in the two prior to that.  I'd even ambitiously planned a 1200m @ vo2 after the 200s, but there was no way....I was toast.  I think I'm running the 200s too fast.  I'm not fit right now, and it's too hot to go my old paces anyway.  I just need to make sure I'm getting in full workouts, even if they are slow, and it'll come back by this fall.

79F, 74%.  Slow, but with 8 x 8 sec hill sprints.  Those were not so easy.  Although I had a big ribeye for dinner last night, so nothing was ever going to be easy today.  Not even going...ah, never mind.
