Eight this morning after work. Kept it slow for the most part. Legs a little tight but loosened quickly.

Out in the fog this morning after overnight thunderstorms. Just kept a 10:00 pace overall, slower early then somewhat faster as I got loose, and stretched the intended 8 to 9+.

Out early with Sheri and the gang. For some reason I woke up with some stiffness in my left knee and the left IT band was also acting up. It took at least 4 miles to loosen a little and is still sore, and I was very very slow. I'm glad I already have an appointment scheduled with Tiffany for a massage this afternoon. Very good timing for that. First, lunch with Jen, first time I've seen her since her birthday. She's got birthday dinner tonight with her work group while I go to the WAR meeting.

Stoopid warm and humid for mid-October. Jill and David did a three-mile loop than came back to get Mark and I didn't want to go any further after that loop. So I didn't. Legs were very tight and it was a struggle even without the humidity.

Out with the crack o' chickens crew through the fog. I actually loosened up for the first time since Monday and decided to keep going. Wound up with a decent 11-mile progression. That's probably the kind of runs I need to keep doing while I'm in this base building period, how ever long that lasts.

Slow and humid, finished just before a big thunderstorm blew in. Apparently several more T-storms will follow in the next 36 hours. Hope it slacks off enough to get a football game in -- or that the rain gives Bama the dropsies. I was really, really sore after yesterday's combination of 11 miles and golf. Took at least 4 miles to get really loose.

Cool and misty this morning and I felt good, so I pushed it a bit. Started around 9:30 pace and picked it up from there. By the end I was under 8:30 pace.
