4:50 am 78o , 80-84% humidity.   It's sad when it feels like a sauna at 4:50 in the morning.  Lately, I've felt like the simplest breeze is a tender mercy of the Lord sent just for me.

progressive run.  I was supposed to do 2 speed miles, but I did a lot of rationalizing and figured since I was planning a longer run tomorrow, and did a good pace yesterday, that I should take it easy today.   So I started out at a recovery run pace, but I found that the longer I ran, the better I felt.  So it just progressed.  The last mile I tried running at my speed mile pace and was pleased that I actually managed to go faster than my goal.  The last .22 miles was just to get back to the house and for fun.

It was cool though, because I haven't seen a 6 in my pace (unless it was on my bike) all summer.

avg pace 9:35.  splits: 11:23, 10:15, 9:54, 9:43, 9:26, 9:04, 7:52, 6:56 (yeah baby, yeah!!!)

Ran in the hood today- evidently over the summer, the stray cat population has increased- there were cats everywhere.    I like it when the headlamp reflects in the cat's eyes at night.

off to do my crunches & then to work...no hour delay today :-(

wow...you went from an 11mm to a 6mm!! That is an amazing progressive run. Maybe you'll start seeing some more road kill around the hood this fall :)

Wo-how! Nice 6 baby!

I guess I shouldn't be whining about being at the gym at 5:30am. Awesome speed! You must have felt like you were flying!

Terri- you can complain...I don't have to deal with "Mike" or "Putennesca" at the gym :-)

RAD- I hope it's not kitty road kill..or baby bunny road kill (saw one one those today- how cute). Maybe a squirrel or opossum would be okay.

KP- Come On!!! We need you to come too!! It will be fun. You can even take a pix of the police man if I get pulled over :-)

Brent- If I kept going, I would have been going so fast, it would make it appear as if I was lying exhaused on the grass :-)
