AM:  77F, 90%.  6 @ 7:59 AP.  Workers were out there on my coveted neighborhood construction trails.  Toiling away, and besmirching the sanctity of Labor Day!

Anyway.. I took the day off running yesterday, and got 8+ hours of sleep both of the last 2 nights.  I feel pretty rested.  The work week will reverse all of this, of course, but at least I can start off on the right foot.  No booze in a month either (that's impressive for me).

PM:  96F.  4 miles, some with daughter #1 and some with the dog.  Ran around sunset which made it feel pretty decent.

AM:  77F, 86%.  6 @ 8:29 AP.

PM:  95F.  3 @ 7:39 AP.  Finally had some time just after sunset with the dog.  Picked up the pace a little - sub-8 seems so fast for a non-workout now.

AM:  77F, 83%.  6 @ 8:28 AP.  My oldest daughter Elle joined the blog (I finally gave in).  She's really into it (for now).

PM:  no.  Might have to start adding a few miles in the morning as a hedge against long work hours.

AM:  76F, 89%.  10 miles.  Hit the track for a set-the-bar-low workout at 5k effort.  I went with 6 x 800, 1 lap recovery.  Back in June, I averaged 2:46 for this one, but set the bar today at 3:00.  Ended up averaging 2:53 (2:57, 2:55, 2:54, 2:54, 2:51, 2:48).  Mediocre, but I think I'm on to something with the easy targets...you never fail!  Anyway, as crappy as running feels right now, plus cruddy conditions, I'll definitely take it.  We are getting a couple days of cool air soon and I'm thinking mile reps on Sunday.  If that goes poorly, THEN I can press the panic button, which usually includes some kind of drastic, overreacting changes to my training.

6 on the home TM with a few pickups.  Wife comes back to San Antonio tonight, and so does the cold front!  I rarely let one of those slip by without jamming in a workout...track time tomorrow.
