| Interesting run tonight. Planned to do it on the TM, but couldn't get into the fitness room for some reason. So got my Garmin and went out on the streets. Humidity quickly started kicking my fanny. After almost four miles, looped back by the fitness room and decided to try again, and this time the door opened. So I ran two miles on the TM inside, then went back out to do my hill sprints X 4 on Commercial Drive. Not a fun run, but got it done. |

Fartlek run tonight, so I'm guessing at the total distance of the surges -- which were 8 X 45 seconds at paces ranging from 7:24 to 6:15. Went pretty well; legs felt much better once I picked up the pace. I just have a hard time running 10 minute miles in training. I have to expend energy holding myself back, I think. |

Back to the old midweek 8-milers. Was supposed to be easy, but I decided to make it a progession run -- which probably made it easier than it would have been if I'd just loafed at 9:40 pace for an hour-plus. Got up to 9:00 pace and would have gone faster, except the control panel on the DM locked up (which it does sometimes when I'm sweating a lot) and I couldn't turn it up or adjust the incline or do anything else, even stop it at the end; I had to pull the safety string to stop it when I finished. Wound up at 74:30 for eight. |

| Slow 6 on the TM tonight, then over to Commercial to run hills X 5. The hills are gettingg easier, I think; the slow 6-milers aren't. Legs took about five miles to wake up. |

| Pam and I met a group of people who turned out to be mostly from Arkadelphia (my hometown) tonight at a pub. Then I left early to go run. Not sure the two are connected, but it was not a good run. Might be because I started at almost 9 p.m. and hadn't eaten since noon (and had some GI distress after that). Legs felt really weak, and I was really hungry, so I cut off the planned 8-miler at 6 miles then went to go find some food. |

Up early this morning to run, in part because last night's run didn't go so well. Did better this time, a routine 4-miler at the AC. Weather was really nice, around 68 and not very humid, but I'm still glad I ran on the TM, because there were some mid-run issues I needed to deal with that would have been more problematic on an outdoor run. May do a short run tonight, may not. Then 14 tomorrow. |

| Pretty good run this morning. Got a break on the weather; it was 68 degrees at 6 a.m., and it doesn't get any better than that in August in Arkansas. Could have used a touch more breeze, but otherwise very nice. Legs felt a little sluggish early, but as I picked up the pace a bit they warmed up. Definitely a better 14 miler than I ran last Saturday. Heart rate was about where I wanted it; averaged 135 for the run. Last quarter-mile some lean 25-year-old pulled up beside me and I decided he was NOT going to beat me, so I put the hammer down. I didn't pull ahead of him, but he didn't pass me either, so I consider that a victory for the old guy. And he congraulated me afterward on the late surge. Garmin said I was running 5:36 pace at the end. |
