6 early, decent weather, but not much energy... what do you expect for a Monday morning :) 

PM- 5, although hot (88) I felt pretty good, 7:45/m Kids treated me well, got me dinner out and enjoyed Doctor Who with them. We are almost caught up with the season, only a few behind and have become quite attached to that show.

AM 70/95% 6 wet miles. Warmed up with Cardio X and then a decent run, 6x20s striders. A little late start to work so I had to work pretty hard but it was worth it. 

PM 89, warm, 5 miles. 8/mile. Went the the farmers market and bought a few odds and ends. I am a fan of organic food, but it is pricey compared to regular. Pork and pasta stir fry, yum-o.

71/99%... not ideal for running but attempted to make the most of it :) I had a project day at work so I needed to get in early. Power washing and cleaning...

Run- after 6 base miles ran 4 miles of hill sprints (8 repeats in all) - tough incline, very challenging and I was toast after that- wet toast.

AM 75/70% Much better temps to run in. 6 miles, recovery run. Lot's of bunnies and ducks again. I always find in funny how the ducks and geese stand their ground. 

PM 84/50% Decent, but longer day at work. Had to change my schedule up as I am now headed out of town Monday for work. Nice easy evening run, but I think I ate too soon before running.

Wanted to get out before the heat rolled in, but when the alarm went off there was a lightning storm. So I slept an extra hour, got up, legs felt tired so I warmed up with some Cardio X. Another start at 100% humidity, but despite that it did not feel so bad at the start... eventually it kinda sapped me toward the end, but overall felt okay. Miles 1-6 were quickish and felt good, 6- 12 were rolling hills (+/- 250ft, most around 4-5%, but some areas at 8%), and 12-20+ were progressive... progressively slower that is. Really after 17/18 I did not have much in the tank so I just ran it out best I could.

A lot of races going on today, hope a lot of PR's are set!
