PM2 - Ran 2 miles with the dog after dinner. I thought he'd be too excitable/stupid to run with me but he did ok, only tried to trip me a couple times. For his reward I let him walk the last quarter mile home and pee on stuff.

| AM: 57F, 97%. 9.5 miles total. Aborted 6 x 1 at the track. I thought I was running early enough to beat the cold front, and the air was perfectly stagnant during my warmup. Interestingly I felt the front arrive exactly between the 3rd and 4th rep; in the last mile I couldn't run the northbound 200 in less than 50s, as the wind really kicked up, almost instantaneously. So my 4 reps were 6:06, 6:06, 6:03, 6:20, then pulled the plug. I was debating doing so anyway since I felt really flat...and also pretty unmotivated. This was just fine for a post-illness / pre-5k-PR-attempt. Wasn't looking to crush it anyway...
PM: 4 mi TM plod

| AM: 38F, NNE 14 mph. 6 @ 8:22 AP. The cold front froze most of the rest of the country, but here it basically just meant I had to dig around and find my gloves...a minor inconvenience I'll happily accept!
PM: 48F. couldn't find the time to sneak away from work for my TM run today, but I did take the mutt out for 2.5 miles at night. I brought garmin this time, 8:34 AP. He still tried to trip me a couple times - always in the first mile, when he still has the energy to literally run circles around me.

| 41F. Ran Preston's (I Just Run) race today. He did a great job as a race director - a perfect race, in my opinion. He even had a guy on a bike riding alongside me, telling me where to go; I think he must've told the guy I was directionally challenged. It was good to see him and David (derhammer) - 3 Texas FRB'ers in 1 place?? Gotta be a record.
After passing a guy around the half-mile point, the race became a time trial effort. Had David not been coming off of injury, we probably could've pushed each other to sub-18's. So I blame missing 17:xx entirely on him, I think that's fair.
Splits were 5:46, 5:49, 5:46, 0:40 for the stub. I started the kick way too late, that's where I missed it. I probably could've kept going after the finish line for awhile...lesson learned. Other than that, I ran a great race - paced very well, etc.
All done with 5k's for awhile now though -- got 2 marathons and a 50k coming up, all in a 12-week span. Sub-18 will have to happen next year......
