Weather: Mostly Cloudy, 83°F, 51% Humidity, Winds: NW @ 12 mph, gusting up to 17 mph; feels like 84°F.

Run Uno: 1.3 miles in :15:00 p.m. @ 7:00 p.m.
Pace: 11:32 min./per mile avg.

Together, Anne and I started the evening off with a short run which represented the second workout of the second 5k training plan Anne has committed to working through. (She finished the first, "From Couch Potato to 5k," last week, and began another 5k program from Runner's World by herself yesterday.) This program requires more weekly workouts and more variety (cross-training, walking, etcetera.)

The air felt very heavy and humid, so we had a tough go of it, but finished strong.

Run Dos: 3.2 (5k!) miles in :24:38 p.m. @ 7:00 p.m.
Pace: 7:42 min./per mile avg.

Following a brief cool down, I stepped back out and ran, what I felt, was a pretty quickly paced 3.2 mile course. While my average speed was consistent with what I generally train at, I did vary my pace (faster to slower) during the run, as suggested as a good training option in Running magazine.

Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
