79F, 84%.  7.2 @ 8:06 AP.  Last 0.2 miles was @ MP.  It was pretty hard.  It's difficult to believe I'm actually going to sign up for Boston in 9 days, where they'll expect me to go an additional 26 miles.

PM - 3.5 on the TM

80F, 70%.  8:08 AP.  Pretty warm for a September morning.

I weighed myself yesterday - 13 lbs heavier than before Boston.  Now I don't really give a crap what I look like, I'm naturally a little skinny anyway.  But as a runner, I need to lose some of that.  I think September will be all about longer, slower running/base building, with not much more than strides or hill sprints for workouts.  Trim the fat, and then it'll be time to really run with the cooler air in October.

77F, 78%.  8:29 AP.  Some nice plodding this morning.  Today I'm unemployed (I start the new job on Monday) so we went to the riverwalk for lunch.  Tomorrow, we're going to Sea World while the kids are at school.

77F, 83%.  7:50 AP.  Easy, but with about 10 strides in the last couple miles.

Hopefully we don't have Sea World stink on us when we pick up the kids from school.  Sometimes they have a sixth sense for when mom and dad are having fun without them.
