Running 56:04 [3] 6.6 mi (8:30 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann-Rice long. This one was a bit of a grind. Just stuck in first gear the whole way.

Saturday May 30, 2015 #

Running 48:30 [3] 5.9 mi (8:13 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Hermann-Rice short. Got it done. About all that can be said.

Thursday May 28, 2015 #

Running 48:44 [3] 6.0 mi (8:07 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 Blue

Hermann-Rice short (with a bayou detour). Felt sluggish for the first half but better toward the end.

Monday May 25, 2015 #

Running 1:34:31 [3] 8.8 mi (10:44 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Buffalo Bayou Park. Very warm, sunny, and humid as hell. Started off feeling really good (ruh roh), but by mile 4, the heat was weighing on me. Hard. Thought of bailing after a single 5 mile loop, but decided to continue on in heat-management mode. Some nicely-timed clouds, a good breeze, and a shift to 6/2's allowed me to complete the rest of the planned run. Barely. Just not in good enough running shape to handle the heat yet.

Sunday May 24, 2015 #

Running 47:41 [3] 5.9 mi (8:05 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 Blue

Hermann-Rice short. Mid-morning in mild, rain-cooled conditions. Not especially quick, but felt pretty solid overall.

Saturday May 23, 2015 #

Running 1:02:29 [3] 7.0 mi (8:56 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 Blue

Hermann-Rice long plus. The nice weather lasted all of one day. Back to the suck. Out the door prepared for a short run, but felt pretty decent so I stretched it out into a longer, ad hoc, route. Took it very easy - all about managing the heat.

Friday May 22, 2015 #

Running 1:01:42 [3] 7.5 mi (8:14 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Hermann-Rice long + Braes long. Stepped out the door & was greeted with noticeably cooler temps. Northerly winds confirmed that an actual front slipped through. Made the decision to stretch this one out a bit pretty easy.

Thursday May 21, 2015 #

Note
(rest day)

Dad duty (field trip) meant a zero - not that I really minded.

Wednesday May 20, 2015 #

Running 47:38 [3] 5.9 mi (8:04 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Hermann-Rice short. Better than Monday. Not great, mind you, but not horrid either.

Tuesday May 19, 2015 #

Note
(rest day)

Insomnia led to a crappy night's sleep which led to ditching this one. Is what it is.

Monday May 18, 2015 #

Running 48:26 [3] 5.9 mi (8:13 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Hermann-Rice short. Astoundingly humid this morning. The system is definitely still in heat-acclimation mode. Felt ok much of the run, but cratered over the last half mile & felt sick afterwards. Friggin' hate this time of year.

Sunday May 17, 2015 #

Running 36:52 [3] 4.5 mi (8:12 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann. Lunchtime slog. Brutally warm and humid.

Saturday May 16, 2015 #

Running 1:11:58 [3] 8.1 mi (8:53 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Braes + Hermann-Rice long + Braes long. Humid as Managua this morning. Kept things really relaxed - true Saturday pace (even walked the bridges). All in all, not a bad run.

Friday May 15, 2015 #

Note
(rest day)

Decided on a zero. It wasn't a difficult decision either.

Thursday May 14, 2015 #

Running 48:18 [3] 5.9 mi (8:11 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann-Rice short. More consistent energy than yesterday's effort. 110% humidity wore me down somewhat over the last mile, but not a terrible run.

Wednesday May 13, 2015 #

Running 48:24 [3] 5.9 mi (8:12 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Hermann-Rice short. Felt somewhat off this morning. Sinuses maybe - a touch of vertigo + flat legs. Big rain last night meant a flooded tunnel under MacGregor, so there was a bit of working around to do. Around mile 4, things turned around and legs got snappier.

Tuesday May 12, 2015 #

Running 47:11 [3] 5.9 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Hermann-Rice short. A decent night's sleep helped make this one pretty, um, decent.

Monday May 11, 2015 #

Note
(rest day)

Rough night's sleep made this a logical off day.

Sunday May 10, 2015 #

Running 53:31 [3] 6.4 mi (8:22 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann-Rice long. Mid-morning & pretty warm. Kept it fairly relaxed, but with the heat, it felt sorta difficult by the end.

Saturday May 9, 2015 #

Running 1:16:36 [3] 7.5 mi (10:13 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Sabine from Chris's. A fair amount of walking late (which was more than fine with me), but the early running was at an honest pace. And it was nasty warm and humid. Bleh. Need to get used to it, I suppose.

Friday May 8, 2015 #

Running 35:59 [3] 4.5 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann. Close to sleeping in this morning. Was able to negotiate with myself though - get up & you only have to run short. Still felt like shit.

Thursday May 7, 2015 #

Running 51:55 [3] 6.5 mi (7:59 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Hermann-Rice long. Felt pretty good early on. That doesn't always turn out so great - this was one of those times. Energy started to lag over the last few miles, possibly because of the near-summer-like conditions. Managed to hold it together enough to just dip under 52:00.

Wednesday May 6, 2015 #

Note
(rest day)

A zero felt right today.

Tuesday May 5, 2015 #

Running 53:16 [3] 6.4 mi (8:19 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann-Rice long. Summer is coming. Although things never felt genuinely crappy, it was one of those mornings where I just had one gear. Didn't feel especially fluid either, and the Altras aren't forgiving when the form gets sloppy. Bleh.

Monday May 4, 2015 #

Running 44:51 [3] 5.9 mi (7:36 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Hermann-Rice short. Warmer morning (but one that I'd kill for in a couple of months). Didn't feel especially great, but stayed focused on keeping the legs turning over. Paid off in one of the quicker runs in awhile.

Walking 30:00 [3] 1.55 mi (19:22 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

PM dreadmill walk to stretch things out.

Sunday May 3, 2015 #

Running 36:14 [3] 4.4 mi (8:14 / mi)
shoes: PureFlow3 - DayGlo

Hermann. Pressed for time on this mid-morning effort. Felt a bit lethargic and fat...

Saturday May 2, 2015 #

Running 1:02:17 [3] 5.0 mi (12:27 / mi)
shoes: Brooks PureGrit3

Ho with TREX. Nice weather morning. VERY relaxed pace.

Friday May 1, 2015 #

Running 45:14 [3] 5.8 mi (7:48 / mi)
shoes: Altra Instinct 3.0

Hermann-Rice short. Having trouble with motivation these days (and not just with respect to running). But once I manage to make it out the door, the running has been very good this week.
