74F, 94%.  7:52 AP.  Moist.

I was thinking on this run today about my lack of running this summer.  I think I justified it by saying my legs would appreciate the extended break, and then be super ready to attack when the "season" started.  But I did not factor in the weight gain.  That is one booger I flicked a little too far.

74F, 95%.  7:59 AP.  I woke up at 4:00am to get this one in.  Have to bold that, since it is probably a PR (and it's the only one I'll see for awhile).  8-min pace is good aerobic work for me right now.

72F, 96%.  Must be the humid time of year.  I keep looking at the 10-day forecast, hoping to glimpse maybe a low of 68 or 69 sometime in the future, but nothing yet.

Today was slow, but I added 7 x 8 sec hill sprints.
