Running 44:38 [3] 5.7 mi (7:50 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Pure Connect

Hermann-Rice short GW. A day can make a big difference. 10 degrees cooler doesn't hurt either. Very solid start to finish.

Running 54:34 [3] 6.4 mi (8:32 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann-Rice long GW. There are days where everything clicks and the miles slip by quickly. And there are days like today. Days that suck beyond measure. Not sure what it was. The weather? Meh. Cloudy - 80-ish, 100% humidity. I've certainly seen worse. Was it eating too close to the run? That may have had something to do with it. Lack of motivation? Probably. Whatever it was, it lead to a brutal little sufferfest.

Running 32:49 [3] 4.1 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann loop GW. Late-afternoon run. Cloud cover helped ease the heat a little. Felt fine - not exactly spry, but steady.

I'm a lazy loser.

Running 45:29 [3] 5.7 mi (7:59 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann-Rice short. Very little (as in zero) motivation this morning. Felt tired and somewhat achy. Nevertheless, everything was fine. I got out the door and that counts for something.

Monday Sep 24, 2012 #

Running 1:00:35 [3] 6.5 mi (9:19 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Pure Connect

Evening run at Terry Hershey. Took advantage of a lot of time to kill on the west side while Rebecca played softball. Nothing felt particularly good on the route (about 2.5 miles of asphalt and 4 of trails) - not really my prime time of day to run + it was pretty hot. Still, a nice change of pace from the typical weekday grind.

Sunday Sep 23, 2012 #

Walking 50:30 [3] 3.1 mi (16:17 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Pure Connect

Mid morning walk around and about Hermann / Braes with Cathy. Sticky warm, but not terribly uncomfortable.

Saturday Sep 22, 2012 #

Running 1:54:33 [3] 12.0 mi (9:33 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Terry Hershey park with Chris and Thomas (and Cees for part of the run). While it wasn't all that warm this morning, the humidity was turned up to 11, so the run was an interesting mix of never quite overheating but also sweating like a mother. The pace was a bit to fresh when we hit the trails and I really wore down by the end. Still, it was a solid morning with good company.

Friday Sep 21, 2012 #

Running 52:02 [3] 5.5 mi (9:28 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Pure Grit

Mid-morning trails - Endless/Green out/Green back. Last-minute decision to take the day off. The trails were as messed up as ever - hadn't been there in some time - but for a short run it was a nice change of pace. Definitely running faster than I was a year ago. Hit the gate at Crestwood in 27:00 flat and really wasn't pushing the pace at all.

Thursday Sep 20, 2012 #

Running 49:15 [3] 6.4 mi (7:42 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann-Rice long GW. Oh man, what a difference a loss of 15 degrees and 30 percent humidity makes. Pushed the pace and it was actually a pleasure.

Tuesday Sep 18, 2012 #

Running 45:14 [3] 5.7 mi (7:56 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann-Rice short GW. After a stressful day and 4 hour drive yesterday, stuff was tight this morning. But things loosened up just fine, and with the slightly cooler weather it turned out to be a pleasant run.

Sunday Sep 16, 2012 #

Running 50:16 [3] 6.4 mi (7:51 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann-Rice long. Felt pretty solid the entire way. Kept the pace consistent throughout. After the upcoming week of no outdoor running, I'll probably gain some appreciation for my everyday routes...

Friday Sep 14, 2012 #

Running 44:21 [3] 5.7 mi (7:47 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Pure Connect

Hermann-Rice short GW. Back at it in the midst of a crazy period at work. Suffering major PMS (Pace Mismanagement Syndrome) this morning. Hit my 1.5 mile mark way too fast & had problems pulling back sufficiently after that. Result was a not-very-smooth run, but a plus effort.

Running 51:25 [3] 6.4 mi (8:02 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann-Rice long GW. Nice morning. After the off-day rust was shaken off, the legs had surprising pop this morning.

Sunday Sep 9, 2012 #

Running 2:44:45 [3] 16.5 mi (9:59 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Huntsville SP w/ Chris. The first real taste of that wonderful season in Houston: Not Summer. About 60 at the start of the run - makes such a huge difference. Felt pretty solid most of the way. Dragging a little by the end, but not in a bad way. Super morning overall.

Saturday Sep 8, 2012 #

Running 45:45 [3] 5.7 mi (8:02 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Pure Connect

Hermann-Rice short GW. Everything felt pretty rested after a couple of zero days. Pulled back over the last mile because tomorrow should be a long day.

Bleh. Scratchy throat. Very tired. Hoping I'm not catching Hannah's bug.

Pressed for time this morning + a slightly tight calf/shin = good zero day.

Wednesday Sep 5, 2012 #

Running 44:48 [3] 5.7 mi (7:52 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Pure Connect

Hermann-Rice short GW. The pattern of late has been dead legs early and a bit more life late. Held true this morning. Legs felt really flat for most of the first 3 miles. The difference was that everything else felt excellent. Breathing/cardio were super solid, which allowed me to push the pace a bit even with flat legs. Once the legs started to come around, everything fell into place for a good run. Pushed the pace to 7:30-ish for the last mile & still had more in the tank.

Tuesday Sep 4, 2012 #

Running 52:32 [3] 6.4 mi (8:12 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann-Rice long GW. Felt a bit blah for the first half, but things came around okay for the second half. Brick-in-the-wall kind of run.

Monday Sep 3, 2012 #

Running 45:50 [3] 5.7 mi (8:02 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann-Rice short GW. Ooooh, the legs were definitely leaden after Saturday's long (miserable) run. But they started to come around over the last mile or two, so things should be fine.

Running 2:27:05 [3] 15.1 mi (9:44 / mi)
shoes: Pure Connect-DayGlo

Hermann to Allen Parkway to Montrose. Overreached a little on this one. Poor night's sleep + horrendous humidity and heat this morning led to a pretty awesome bonk before the 11-mile mark. The rest of the jaunt was just about managing the heat which meant frequent, short walk breaks interspersed with some slow running. Got it done though, which I honestly didn't think would happen. Needless to say, feel utterly spent now.... Nap time!
