65F, 76%.  14 miles total.  Alright, I guess most of my recent running problems were just heat-related...this was a really solid workout.  I did 6 x 1600, 400 recovery.  I averaged 5:59.8 per rep (6:06, 6:05, 6:05, 5:59, 5:57, 5:47).  My fitness has been a grab bag lately so I had no target - just be conservative enough that I don't quit.  It took 3 reps before I trusted myself enough to let loose a bit.  Always a positive sign when you can just about hit 5k pace on the last rep of a 6x1.  So maybe all those miles this summer counted for something (I had my doubts).

AM:  65F, 74%.  6 @ 9:02 AP.  Tired legs, but I don't mind when there's actually a reason for it.  Cool air again today - unfortunately, by the time I recover from Sunday (estimating summer 2017) it will be gone.

PM:  no

76F, 89%.  6 @ 8:31 AP.  Neighborhood construction run.  Lots of work going on today though.  On one block it was like a competition between work sites as to who had the loudest tejano music.
