60F, 100%.  13 @ 7:23 AP.  Houston part II.  Last aerobic get-back-in-shape run.  Achilles is fine.  Not nearly as worried about my weird unbalanced leg thing anymore.  I think I just really jacked myself up by not DNF'ing earlier.  Anyway, couple easy days and then my 2-week marathon training block can begin.

38F.  11 @ 7:14 AP.  On the way back I did a mini-CV: 6 x (3 min on, 1 min off).  I averaged 5:55.5 pace for the on's.  Pretty cool huh?  It was not an easy effort, but I thought the paces would be significantly worse since I haven't done anything difficult in almost a month, and mileage is WAY down - if I can just get back to my peak shape from a month ago, I'd be really happy.  Not there yet, obviously.  Nor do I deserve to be.  But the door hasn't closed on a PR, or even sub-2:55 if I can avoid sabotaging myself over the holidays.  Need a good, long MP run this weekend.

6 @ 7:55 AP.  Took a break from assisting with Cinderella's lego castle construction to get in 6 Christmas miles.  Me and Mrs. Claus had a bit too much to drink last night (every family has its own Christmas traditions) so it felt good to sweat it out a bit on the roads.

Merry Christmas all!
