| 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.

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.
