AM- 59/90% - Temps felt great, legs felt tired - 7 easy. Long day, tried to start work early to free up my evening, but we had a plumbing snafu in the main bathroom today. I could not fix it, had to turn the water off coming into the house and needed a plumber.... took several hours and several hundred dollars. Oh well, I am thankful that we had the money to get it fixed- hopefully it won't put a snafu into vacation in a few weeks. 

PM- long day, 4 Easy.

AM- 72/67% - odd for here, temps went up 13 degrees, but humidity has not been that low in the morning since May. Decent to run in :) Things started off well enough but upset stomach kept my- on my toes?- for the first bit. It eventually settled down after 7 miles, at least enough to run some intervals. 

10 Miles warm up (ahem, base run, what is that these days? I seem to vary from 8 to 9:30 lol), then 6x800 with 400 recoveries. 3:19, 3:17, 3:18 (hills), 3:18 (hills), 3:17, 3:16 + cool down.

AM 61/92% (73/73%at finish)- so overall no complaints on the weather. I felt like it was a good week of miles and even though my legs are somewhat tired I wanted to finish the week strong in hopes I could slowly back off and then taper. 3 weeks to WPAFB Marathon so these are the final training runs that will pay any dividends. I figured if I could have a good 15 between a warm up and cool down and I should be satisfied. 

2 Miles Warm Up (9:24, 9:01), then miles 3-17.5 (7:57, 7:48, 7:44, 7:33, 7:37, 7:32, 7:28, 7:36, 7:37, 7:25, 7:25, 7:22, 7:23, 7:18, 7:05 - pace for the 1/2) then 2.5 Cool down (it was going to be 3 cool down, but I felt pretty good and thought I would just run another half at a good pace). Afterwards I wondered if I should have went ahead and pushed trough the last 2.5 hard. I had the lungs for it, my legs were just tired so it was by design. Sometimes I can't help but question the 'if's'. 7:32 Avg (minus the warm up).
