Another great day on the TM.  Everyone in the gym was in PT clothes, guess this I really do workout at a military gym.  Guess crazy when you look around and everyone is in matching workout clothes.  I think I might buy a pair, or just borrow my husband's.

TM workout was simple.  Started at 6.8 and knocked up the speed every quarter mile.  When I reached 8.5, I proceeded to knock the speed down every quarter.  I liked this workout.

For the most part, I feel really safe running on the Air Force base that I live on.  We are about five miles from the border of Mexico.  I have heard that there have been illegals on the base because they see the lights and the water tower and they think they are in Del Rio.  My husband has been asked by Border Patrol as he was running on base if he had seen illegals on his route.  

Yesterday there were 132 inmates that escaped from a prison in Mexico about 50 miles away from where we live.  I get nervous about running in the dark at 6 in the morning.  The most frightening things I have seen on base are  snakes and skunks.  If I encountered illegals, I might pee my pants and run as fast as I can.  Anyway, just blogging my thoughts.

7 miles in the dark 8:21 pace

4 miles on the TM.  30 min on the bike.  Plan was to bike an hour but I was chafing in random spots, so that had to end early.  

30 minutes of weights and crunches.

Life is good.

Good run with hubby (6 miles) around the base. We went on a trail that was extremely muddy.  4 fast miles on the TM and a mile home.

One of the most humid runs I've had here.
