76F, SW 13-22 mph.  Believe it or not, it actually got up around 100 degrees yesterday afternoon.  So, a warm morning today but no problem because I was not in a hurry.  Pfitz wanted 8 @ MP today but I don't think he knew I had a 10k yesterday, so I let the legs dictate the pace and meandered around the industrial parks and ghettos of South Cental Abilene.  Beautiful place, this town.  8:06 avg.

67F.  Instead of the 10 w/ 5 LT that was on the schedule I just did 10 GA miles today.  Didn't see the point of doing a tempo just 3 days after a race.  Plus I have 8 @ MP on Sunday, and a knee thing that hasn't quite decided to disappear.

I did manage to get tangled up in a tumbleweed today in the dark, so that was something new.  7:42 AP overall.

63F.  MLR today and an early, early start.  Dark the whole time with no moonlight either -- which I mention as my excuse for biting the dust once on the dirt roads.  No damage done except to my pride.  7:49 AP.

70F.  8:54 AP.  One of the kids has plagued us all with a cold they brought home from school.

65F, N 12 mph.  Felt crappy today.  7:55/mile avg, although I'm surprised it was that fast.  I guess I'm not doing my immune system any favors by running a lot but it's just a cold - it'll go away eventually.

72F - ran later in the morning, after our oldest's soccer game.  8:34/mile.

Then hopped on to watch the live video of the finish line at St. George, thinking I timed it right to definitely catch April, but the clock said 3:53.  Off by an hour - I was thinking 2 hour time difference for some reason.  Dumb.  Hope everyone did well!
