74F, 87% humidity.  Got 3.5 inches of rain on Friday night, which now accounts for more than a third of our rainfall for the year.  Yeah, kinda dry here.  Anyway, the storm cooled things off this weekend and made for a nice run this morning.

7:48 AP today.  Took a new route out to the wind farms and got some decent hills.  The last 8+ miles were all between 7:20-7:32, and as I finshed I felt like I could've run forever at that pace.  I was consciously slowing my pace to save gas for the rest of the week.  Amazing what a difference a few degrees makes.

I'm glad to hear you finally got a bit of relief. Nice run, you are right back at racking up the miles. Do you have any races planned between now and the Abilene 10K?

Great job. We drove through there at about 10:00 last night. You'll be glad to know we decided not to stop in for dinner.

Nice running Joe! I bet it feels good to be that strong after 17 miles :-)

April - don't think I will race until next month for the 10K. I think I will try and squeeze a couple 5Ks in by the end of the year though.

Flat - welcome back to summer.

IJR - thanks, it was a nice surprise not being tired - I think I've just gotten used to the heat draining all my energy
