40F, SSE 10 mph, light rain for a few miles.  Pretty enjoyable run when it wasn't raining - one of those where I would've liked to just keep running.  But I need to keep the mileage somewhat in check to avoid breaking down too much in this last month before the race.  7:35 AP.

65F, SSE 15 mph.  Wanted 13 miles but I turned around early.  The 5 hours of sleep I got the night before last was ok, but the 3 hours last night was apparently not quite enough.  It was like painful slow motion out there.  Work is kicking my butt right now with late hours.  I also have to fly out to Houston early tomorrow for another job interview, so will probably do what I should've done today and just skip the run.  Hope to catch up with everyone's blogs this weekend...

8:12 AP.

34F.  7:35 AP.  Good moderate-effort run to get back in the swing of things.  I never feel awesome after a day off, but this was ok, all things considered.  Starting to catch back up on sleep a little, after 7 solid hours last night.

37F, 8:24 pace.

Since I made it through the week with no workouts, I think I will hammer the last 5 or 6 miles on my 16-miler tomorrow.
