8 miles on the trail at Pedernales Fall State Park.  Wish we'd had time for another loop.  It was chilly, and low humidity....I even wished I'd had gloves.  Is this really early May in Central Texas?

The end of a super tiring and draining week.  Glad its over.  I'll take tomorrow off, and then start afresh next week.

After a shockingly poor week of running, I got back into the swing of things with 10 miles this morning.  8 min/mile average pace.  I was pleased as the conditions were ok, but not great.

Summer has arrived in Austin, Texas.  It was very very hot and humid.  Struggled h, but survived 12 hilly miles.

Recovery trail run.  Slowed down at the end as I was tired, and heart rate was climbing s it got warmer.  This is a recovery run after all ;o)

Very poor run.  Set out to do 1,000s, but just got too hot so packed it in after just 2 of them ;o(
