2 walk at work and a workout at lunch.  Shirtless and 70 degrees.  Sweating and noticing that humidity is sticking around due to unseasonable heat. 

3mi. AT + 6x0.25.  - Breathing hard at 6:25 pace, and feeling lethargic, stiff, slow on repeats.  Still, the back is fine, and feeling alot better after 2 days off.  Taper mode still in full swing, though.  This was a 10day out workout for... 100M :)

2 walks at work and TM run in the morning: 4 mi. mod. w/ pickups - 30 min.  did 6 x pickups.  Hopping in to IMM Half tomorrow.  Go for about half of it (~10k) at HMP to get some turn over for what will probably last time before 100M

Indy Mon. Half Marathon.  Hopped in thanks to Nathan and his buddy's generosity.  MEt them and a young lady I work with (running her first!) downtown this morning for bib exchange.  Great to see those guys!  

Plan today was to go 6-7 miles at HMP and continue on if feeling good at that point, but, not over do it.  The goal is (and has been all summer) the 100M next week.  Pretty decent feeling at around 6-6:05 pace for first 10k, and I wisely stick to plan.  Too bad - probably would be a PR.  

6:14, 00, 5:57, 02, 05, 00, 06, and into some recovery miles: 6:20, 21, 38, 7:00, 7:18, 6:59, 4:54 pace for partial (as I can't resist kicking over the finish line) - 37:41 for 10k, and 1:23:32 for finishing time
