Supersize figure 8 on the trails this morning - counterclockwise up top and clockwise around the lake.  First 2 hilly twisty miles real easy (8:57, 9:01), then picked it up (8:03 third mile) on the way to the lower loop, and finished with 7:37, 7:35 and 7:08 for the rolling miles around the lake.  I think I will enjoy using this run as my weekly gauge for the next several weeks.  Looking to get in another 25 mile week to give me my first 100 mile month in ages - hey, its something.

Supersize figure 8 with good effort on the north loop portion from 2-2.7 miles.  Remainder of the miles were easy at 8:30-8:45 pace.  Really had no energy or motivation after the north loop effort.

Finally got out to the trails late this evening for a nice workout.  Ran 1 mile warmup and then 6Xquarter mile with 1 minute walk between.  All of the quarters were between 86 and 92 seconds - quite satisfactory on the sandy rolling trails.  Finished up with 2 easy miles back to the jeep.

Ridiculously hot and humid this evening when I hit the trails, so just took it easy around the perimeter of my usual trails.  Total distance around the outside comes to right at 5.7 miles.  Couple of the miles are mostly uphill and one is mostly downhill - averaged right at 8:30 pace for the whole shooting match.

Heat index right at 100 this evening - such a deal.  Figure 8 - overstreet counterclockwise then ravine trail counterclockwise.  Just a tough slog of a run, but finished out another 25-mile week.  Will do better next week at running in the morning.
