67F, SSE 18-26 mph.  8:37 AP.  Actually got some sunshine for this run.  This is the first time as a runner that I have gotten to experience the joys of Fall daylight savings time.  Last year I was living with savages (no DST), and the year before I would've never done something like wake up early to run.

57F, WNW 16-23 mph.  7:45 AP.  Interesting run for a weather nerd.  I ran about an hour after the squall line came through but just before the cold air from the actual front.  In the relatively short time I was out there, I could feel the winds transiting from south to north by the end of the run.

The plan for the rest of the week is a lot more plain ol' aerobic running like this to recover from the half, then 10 @ MP on Sunday in my long run.

39F, N 10 mph.  Some perfect running weather.  7:32 AP today as I got a little carried away on the way home...nothing crazy though, just having fun throwing in a few strides of varying speeds and duration.  Legs really sprung to life today and are seemingly recovered after the race.

49F, SSW 17 mph.  I had the day off, so I took my kindergartner to school and ran from there.  7:36 AP.  Once my legs get warmed up, things are now very comfortable in the 7:30s (when the weather is cool).  Hopefully if my easy pace is speeding up, it means everything else is too.  Not sure if it works like that though.
