I decided what the hell, I'll go out and run a VO2Max workout.  I've been putting in plenty of moderate distance runs lately and I'm training for 5-10K distances.  Time to actually run at race pace for a bit.  The cool weather really helped. 83 degrees feels amazing next to 93-103.  Seems August is a lot calmer than June or July around here.

Allergies bothering me a bit but not too much. Need to order new Kinvaras.

10.1 easy after work. About 7 flat pace.  The gym is closed this week so I can't shower after my runs if I run from work.  I will be running after work everyday today.

Very cool outside (81) so the run felt great even with some allergy issues.

very long day at work.  Very stressed with New Student Orientation coming up.  I've had so much to do and almost blew up at someone today.  I was mentally exhausted so I didn't run :(

12+ miles easy after work.  Man what a week.  Stressed from work and sad that I missed my run yesterday. It also sucks that the gym is closed so I can't go there and lift + shower after my runs.  Orientation week this week which means a 12 hour work day on Friday and work on Saturday.  I'm going to do my best to get my runs in.

12+ hours at work today with open houses, orientations, and interacting with new students.  It was dark by the time I got out of work.  Didn't get my run in.

New student orientation early today until 3.  I guess I could have ran but I was exhausted and this week was pretty much an inconsistent waste on the training front.  I guess this can be a down week.  Hope to get back in the routine next week.

My Kinvara 3s came today.  I'm glad I got to get to throw away my old 2s...so worn out.
