Thunderstroms rolling through this morning so had to retreat to the TM.  It was too bad because I just planned an easy run this morning anyway.  I felt pretty good after the longer run yesterday.  Only issue was a little bit of pain/tightness in right hamstring.  Will need to keep an eye on this to try to keep it from getting worse.

PM:  I was able to squeeze in a quick run before dark.  It was 78 but the humidity felt lower.  I felt pretty good so planned to do a progression run.  Did the first mile as a warmup and then tired to pick it up each mile.  Here were my splits: 7:53, 7:31, 7:00, 6:49, 6:23.  Pushed the last mile pretty hard but felt good.
