Hill Circuits. Expected to be doing "Plan B" this morning, but wake up to find storms on three sides and have about two hours inside the eye of the hurricane to get things done. Out the door it is.

Warm up with three and change jogging at 8:35 average pace. Muggy. Drop my long sleeve on a bench by the school.

Each circuit is about 12XX meters. Start with 0:6X seconds up Broadridge, over and down Aaron, then out and back on Orchard Drive (including a strider) around the drop off loop at the elementary school. Aware there is cumulative fatigue from last six days, so not all out effort. Debating going in to do four or five. First two really good, third one got sloppy in spots, but fourth was solid. Read the tea leafs to tell me that four was perfect for today.

Down jog back to the house of 1.87 miles at 8:50 average pace. Lightning on three sides, and thunder rumbling as I type.

Latest sign of local running apocalypse: So let me get this straight...we pay you to train us to run a 5K, 10K, or HM, but you have to take a pacer with you in a few weeks to run a sub-4 FM??...OK...
