69F, 96%.  7:48 AP.  Picked up the pace a little at the end.  Hoping this is the last warm Sunday morning run...

63F, 97%.  A brisk morning...I ran 3 miles - supposed to be 6 but I realized I left the car unlocked and I turned around early.  I didn't want to be thinking about it  the whole run.  Then, instead of going back out after locking it, I decided that no, I would not.  Tomorrow I'm going to the track though, so that's something.

AM1:  73F, 94%.  Track fail workout.  Felt like crud from the moment I woke up and tried to do some 400s but only got through 4, then quit on the 5th one.  Then I walked to my car having only logged 4 mi.

AM2:  when I got to work, it wasn't even 6am yet so I figured I'd hop on the TM at the gym.  I felt a lot better, picked up the pace as I went and did 4.5 more (about 32 min).

77F, 90%.  Forgot to look at the pace, probably around 8:00.  Stomach is doing weird things but felt otherwise ok.  A little annoyed that it's still July.

It was pushing 80 this morning, so I decided to hit the treadmills at work again since I had mild success the other day.  It worked pretty well, as I did 8 miles in ~58 min with the last 2 averaging close to 6:30.  Much easier than it would've been outside today.  Good news is that it looks like it will be cooler next week (finally) so the TM will no longer be necessary.

Kind of a repeat of yesterday, felt good again.  Next week I should be back outside full-time.

30 min easy on the TM.  Cold front arrives tonight, and I will be attempting a workout in the morning
