40F, NE 15 mph, raining.  7:40 AP.  Really miserable by the end, I was soaked.  Numb extremities, etc..  It's done though, longest run since April, I think.

35 degrees and heavy rain.  The 35 part is ok, but I learned yesterday that I don't like being soaking wet at that temperature.  Maybe a run this afternoon...

37F, 7:28 AP.  Picked up the pace as I ran - the cool air feels great.  Last mile in 6:32.  I think I will hit the track in the morning for some 400s before we head to Houston.

31F.  Good, short, speed workout at the track today - 8 x 400m, off 90 sec rest.  Fewer reps and longer-than-usual rest meant they had to be fast, around 1-mile pace.  They averaged 1:18.1, so pretty close, if not a little fast (1-mile pace is a complete guess anyway).  Decently tight grouping too, slowest rep was 79.1, fastest was 76.9.  Off to Houston for the holiday weekend, happy Thanksgiving all!

44F, 7:14 AP.  Ran from my parents' house to downtown and back via the bayou trail. Legs felt great this morning - I had an accidental 6:46 in there on the way back; it has been awhile since that's happened.  I dialed it back several times, since I am planning on some 10k-paced work tomorrow morning before we head back to San Antonio.

Including my nap yesterday, I got over 10 hours of sleep last night/yesterday afternoon.  Amazing how much that sleep helps.  Too bad I could never get that on a regular basis.
