1:45pm -- 85 degrees (much better today!) and sunny with a little breeze, still hot though. 

Knee locked up around 6 miles, walked it off for a bit, then finished easy.

 

10pm -- 4 miles stadium stairs at work very easy.

3.85 AB pace, then 1 mile warm-up with Prague, followed by 1 mile @ 7:22 (the goal was 3 with 4 minutes rest between). We started the 2nd one (.3 in), but bailed on it when Prague didn't feel good. So we finished with a 1.8 mile easy.

6.3 miles easy FB pace (but it seemed a bit harder tonight than it should have, mostly I fought a stitch the whole way), then 3.1 with Prague (again FB pace), then .8 miles home with .1 walking cooldown.
