60F, and dry.  7:31 AP.  Finally, the first cold front came through.  The 60 degrees felt like winter.  This was an ok run, too.  I'm still heavy and out of shape, but the last few miles were 7:16, 7:12, 6:54, 6:32, 5:55 pace for the last 0.7.  The 6:32 was an uphill mile, so not too shabby.

I am just not crazy about running like I used to be.  I'm still going to try and follow this 5k training plan that Bam helped to lay out for me, and hope the fire comes back.  The new job is going to keep me really busy with a lot longer hours and such, and the kids have a lot of activities after school, so running is taking a back seat, as it should.  But overall, I like being a runner so I will try to keep it up and let's see what happens.

65F.  Track today - 3 x (6 x 200 on/off), followed by 800m at the same effort as the 200s.  Definitely not in the same kind of shape as after Boston but all in all I felt ok.  The 800 was a 2:42.

75F, 88%.  Greenway again - lots of deer out.  Pace was probably 8:00-8:10.  Felt like late July again but I still managed a few strides in the last mile.

Nothin this morning.  It was Danielle's birthday yesterday and we went to The Book of Mormon and then stayed at a hotel on the river walk.  Had a little too much fun (and 7 dollar beers)...
