AM- A very pleasant 68º  7  miles with 9x30s striders @ 5K pace. First run after my 2.5 day break. I think my legs liked the break and both runs felt better. I plan on some good intervals tomorrow so we will see. 

PM- 86º hot.  7.1 easy

AM- 69º/93%/68DP - a slight dip in the dew point and I could tell the difference. The classic. 10 Mile warm up followed by 6x3 min intervals. (6:47-6:56 paces) with 2 minute active recoveries. 2 mile cool down on hills. Good effort for me today.  

PM-80/humid. 3 recovery, my quads were tight so I wanted to loosen them up.

AM- 56º, 4:45am - incredibly good conditions. I have not been happy with my long runs recently and after taking a few days off at the beginning of this week I had a decent Wednesday and happy with todays long run. I have learned heat and/or the sun takes a lot out of me - none of that today :) 

2 Mile w/u- then 18  (MP goal 7:40) - 7:28, 7:29, 7:29, 7:39, 7:39, 7:46, 7:31, 7:32, 7:36, 7:41, 7:39, 7:24, 7:22, 7:46, 7:37, 7:37, 7:33, 6:41 - I wanted to see what I had left for mile 20, so I am pleased with some ChuckRoastish. 

Off to the Fair at New Boston! Good times and food await!
