5 Miles Saturday and Sunday

After taking some more time off to let the leg heal, I ran 5 miles yesterday and today.  Felt like I took time off. 

1 Hour hill workout

Today I ran for an hour around a hilly estate in central PA. Good workout, hot but less humid than the south.

5 miles: Humid run

Today I did the Starbucks and back run. It was in the lower 80 and overcast but it seemed very humid. I ran this one faster than the last few runs (more like a 5k pace).  Good run.


My son took this photo of me before I left:

10.6 miles: Graveyard run

Today I ran 10.6 miles. Now that I'm thinking about it I should have run 13 since it's Friday the 13th. Anyway, it was a good run as it was overcast and a decent temperature for the summer.

20.3 Miles: Warm but not hot

Today I ran 20.3 miles. It was a fun, if not warm (low 80's) and humid run. I had a fairly slow overall pace but the pace was not the goal. Plus I had to reply to two work emails during the run. My leg...well it's good enough to go 20 on for today.

5 Miles (Sunday)

I did the Starbucks and back run Sunday night. It was warm and very humid. I strongly dislike the summer.

7.5 miles: Running where the shade takes you.

Today I ran 7.5 miles. It was 95 at the end of the run. It was a good run (considering) until mile 5 when I ran out of water. I was following the shade rather than thinking of where to refill my water.  Leg is the same (not worse, not better).

3.8 Miles: colder not aways better

Today I ran 3.8 miles. It was a cold but humid 94 degrees. It was below a hundred for the first time during a run but it was actually worse because it was more humid. It was not a great run.

7.2 Miles. Yup, still hot.

Today I ran 7.2 mile to the park, around the loop, and back. It was warm (see below). No problem with new shoes, leg the same.

5 miles (Monday)

Monday I ran to town and back, it was somewhere in the 90's. Hot. 
My leg is better but not 100%, I'm very unsure what is going on. 
Switched to sitting on an exercise ball instead of a chair (lots of sitting for work) and I'm going to bring out the new shoes for the next run.

6 Miles (Friday, June 29th)

Last Friday I ran 6 miles after taking a week off to let my leg get better. It was a hot run, this was the temperature at the end of the run. It was hot but it's worse when it's in the 90's and humid. It was not very humid (well, for the south).
