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.

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.
