| 63F, 81%. I botched my alarm clock setting and realized I didn't have enough time for what I planned on the way to the trail, so I turned toward the track to do a shorter run there. I ended up doing 1, 1.5, 1.5 @ HMP, with 1 recovery lap between each. During the first repeat it was clear I would have to hit the bushes, so I finished the mile, did my business, and came back for the rest. Times were:
6:27 (3:15, 3:12)
9:44 (3:13, 3:15, 3:16)
9:19 (3:15, 3:08, 2:56)
Kind of an undisciplined workout, but I guess it worked fine. I didn't need to kill myself in a workout a week before a HM race (even though it's not a "target race"), so this somewhat met the intent. I decided to do the last 1.5 as a progressive effort, but probably would have been better served just doing an extra repeat at true HMP, which I think is around 6:30 right now. Maybe even a few seconds slower given the hills on the course, and if next Sunday is sticky like today was.

| 58F, 7:17 AP. Did a brisk 10-miler this morning. The cold front is hitting this afternoon but unfortunately won't last until the HM on Sunday. I'm not in PR shape anyway, so I'm planning on a nice, conservative, negative-split type effort. This race will be less business, more fun.

| 39F, 8:05 AP. I'm glad to see San Antonio at least gets this kind of weather a few days a year... Couldn't find matching gloves in my morning stupor though, so I had 1 glove and 1 mitten.

| 32F, 7:33 AP. Brisk but easy run in the strangely cold Texas air. I did half a mile @ HMP toward the end - felt great. Too bad it'll be 35-40 degrees warmer by Sunday morning.

| 50F. No watch. My shoes felt weird, but I found out after the run that they were shoes that I retired a long time ago. That's what happens when you're always running around in the dark I guess.
looking at the forecast for Sunday....69 degrees with 97% humidity. Fun combo!
